56. Pick up the pieces Bobbie.
Honestly, I don't think a power point would affect any of the corporate bastards. We have to Unite, millions strong and take to the streets. That would be impossible for even fox tee vee to ignore. If we don't do this, America will become much worse. Under FDR, the top income tax for the wealthiest was 91%. In 1970 it was 75%. We weren't considered a "Socialist" country then. Now our top tax is 35% for the wealthiest (even though they hide most wealth off-shore) and most corporations pay nothing. America would be much better if we returned to the good ol' days, pre-reagan. These European countries show that Socialism is a good thing for the majority. Unfettered capitalism is the most savage and unfair system in the world. The majority of Americans (80%) own 35 of Americas wealth. 50% of us own less than 1% of the wealth. Why would anyone who is not wealthy (5%), not want Socialism? Yes, we can keep our guns...
