This might be the most important blog posting you ever read, pass it on and maybe it's not too late to do something about.
According to the
Los Angeles Times if you make less than $71k a year, you are in poverty. Since the
average household income in the United States is approximately $41k, this means that even factoring in the cost of living differences between the California and the rest of the country, the bulk of the country is living in poverty! This started with the "Reagan Revolution" and then has been finished by George Bush.
If you don't believe me look at the links, these are facts. We are now a nation of serfs. The extremely wealthy now control almost everything. They have created a system where you need money to buy things and the more money you have the more you can buy. They then drove up housing prices so that everyone bought a home using interest only loans. When those come due, the majority of poor people (e.g., those making under $71k/year) will default and the incredibly wealthy will get those homes too. Regular people are forced to get loans from banks, banks get their money from Fannie Mae, Fannie Mae is an arm of the government controlled by Cheney and Bush. Seem a little odd to you?
You don't have to believe me as the evidence is all readily available. Why isn't anyone doing something to stop this? Is it any surprise that Russia's Putin is one of George W. Bush's best friends since he is doing the same thing in Russia? In fact Putin told Bush how to do it and the lessons learned there from "Privatization".
The only people who could stop this are the United Nations and what a coincidence, the same world body that Bush has been distancing us from and undermining at every opportunity. Bush has done everything he can to weaken the UN including trumping up false charges on Kofi Annan--the head of the UN.
It is sooooo sad. By the time Hillary Clinton is elected President in 2008 if we don't do something to stop Bush there won't be a country left for her to rule. We need to act and act now. The only thing that can stop Bush is to get Americans out of poverty.
We need to raise the mean income level to $71k for every household in the country. We can do this by raising the minimum wage so that workers make this amount and by eliminating the taxes that poor people way a disporportionate burden.
We can pay for all of this by eliminating corporate tax loopholes (like "depreciation" which is a huge corporate tax sheltering scheme unavailable to anyone other than big rich corporations). These steps would stop Bush's raping of the country and save us from the Feudal system he and his cronies have been engineering. I know that Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy will support this so we need to get a letter writing campaign for the rest of the Senators and we need it now. Like I said, pass this on.
I can't believe that the U.S. has once again persecuted Ted Kennedy. As his brothers did before him, Ted Kennedy has given his life to public service. Everything he does is to help other people, the man could not hurt a fly and has never done anything wrong. Yet, this country is constantly picking on him or his family--like that poor William Kennedy Smith.
