I like that arrangement.

In Venezuela,
a percentage of Corporate Profits from Venezuelan Resource Extration has been dedicated to:
*Healing the Sick

*Feeding the Hungry

*Educating the Ignorant

*Housing the Homeless

*Empowering the Disenfranchized.

I understand why our 1% and their Mouth Pieces in Washington HATE & FEAR these new Populist Democracies.

Something like that could be very popular here if WORD got out.
That might cut into the luxurious lifestyles of OUR 1%.
The Water Carriers for the 1% have been given their orders.

I suggest that anyone who is NOT a 1%er, Help Spread the WORD!
Our neighbors in Latin America have given us the Blue Print for change.
VIVA Democracy!
I pray we get some here soon!

DURec!
