7. Indeed. Taxes are complex so most people are afraid of them. But this is a simple point.

This is the first time in my life (over 5 decades) that I can remember the shroud being lifted up exposing how the 1% operates. They truly have a whole different set of rules for themselves versus what they hold the 99% to. I don't expect everybody to become a tax expert. But we need to be able to make these simple points to our friends and neighbors.

We didn't accomplish everything last year with OWS.

We won't accomplish everything this year with the Obama reelection.

But we cannot turn back. We must educate America. We must stop these plutocrats before they put us all permanently into poverty.
