A New American Revolution

This is taken from our Declaration of Independence

–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

Medicare/Medicaid is not a light or transient cause

Social Security is not a light or transient cause

Equality is not a light or transient cause

Troy Davis was not a light or transient cause

Aid for our veterans is not a light or transient cause

The economy is not a light or transient cause.

The middle class is not a light or transient cause

The poor and the homeless are not light or transient causes

HIV/AIDS is not a light transient cause.

Occupy Wall Street is not a light or transient cause

We may think we alter the government with our elections but we continue to be abused by those we give power to and those that rule over them (big corporations and the wealthiest 1-2%)

It’s time for a revolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ryan's $34 Trillion Tax Folly | Common Dreams

If repairing your car cost 18 percent of your income, would you buy a new car? Of course you would.

Now imagine that your mechanic tried to persuade you to keep the jalopy with a clever tax argument: The costs of your annual car tax and registration would decline over time, saving you money. Keep the car long enough and you would save a third of a year’s income just in taxes.

That sounds appealing, unless you stop to think about how much more you would pay for repairs as your vehicle ages and breaks down ever more often. READ MORE
