13. TWENTY-THREE PERCENT.
Tue Oct 7, 2014, 04:45 PM
Oct 2014


It was not a recovery. It was a deliberate restructuring to benefit the One Percent.

No, the chocolate ration has not been increased. First goal is to get corporate money out of politics and government so that

1) the two corporate parties stop working aggressively on behalf of corporate interests and against the interests of the people

and

2) they start pouring resources into actual help for the 99 percent [font color=brown]instead of into relentless advertising to put lipstick on this pig of a corporate agenda: protection of criminal banks, corporate schools, Monsanto, drilling, nukes, wars of choice, austerity, TPP, TISA, etc, etc., etc. ad nauseum.
