If you want to FIX WASHINGTON and CUT CORRUPTION
If you want to FIX WASHINGTON and CUT CORRUPTION
(now that Corporations can buy the next Congress),
Then "we the people" should call, write and DEMAND Congress PASS A BILL
--THIS YEAR__PROHIBITING CONGRESSIONAL REPS FROM BECOMING LOBBYISTS...
Why? Hear the words of convicted felon, Jack Abramoff...
(Excerpt from "Agenda for American Greatness") ..."with the revolving
door in Washington between Congress and lobbyists, our system is
corrupted even more. Even Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay’s convicted
felon/friend said that we must close that revolving door to stop the corruption. That will return
power to the people instead of favoring the special interests and the
wealthiest.
In the meantime our Congress gives tax breaks to
the wealthy, expecting it to “trickle down” to the majority.
That
snake-oil slogan has never worked. It has only ballooned our deficits and made our economy look
like Mexico's, where a few families at the top control a majority of the
wealth..."
In
the last 30 years, our middle class has been squeezed so that now one
per cent of the American population controls 33% of all wealth now in
the U.S. The top 10% of the population now control 56% of the wealth!
The top 20% control 84% of the wealth! That means the other 80% of us
have to fight over 16% of the remaining wealth.
And on the subject of making our economy work and the true nature of our national debt:
"A total of
$6.1 trillion in debt was acquired during George W. Bush's eight years in office,
$1.5 trillion in George H.W. Bush's four years,
$1.4 trillion in
Clinton's eight years and
$2.4 trillion during the first three years
Obama's administration, much of it spent trying to pull us out of
recession, just as FDR did ...
