"As our country migrates from democracy to plutocracy, we more and more see tax cuts for the wealthy few, tax breaks and subsidies for the big corporations that operate as fronts for those wealthy few, and budget cuts for the things We, the People (government) do to empower and protect each other. Just a few weeks ago we watched as an extension of the Bush tax cuts and a huge cut in the estate tax rate was pushed through. Now we watch as the discussion turns to cuts in Social Security and the rest of the so-called 'safety net.'"The rich and multinational corporations get free handouts, while most of we, the people of the USA pay taxes for the stuff. Now Washington, DC doesn't want to touch our defense budget, yet is cutting already insufficient social programs. This is a grave situation for a democracy.
Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
