Why is the media telling us it is time to reinvest in America?
Damn, I invest in America every single day.

When I wake at 5am every day, shower and go to work, I am working for a better America. My taxes ,that I gladly pay, go towards schools, governing, roads and medical care for the brave veterans who serve this country day in and day out.

Where I buy my gas, clothing, and food. When I go to the movies, eat out at a restaurant, I am investing in my communty. When I file and pay my federal taxes, I invest in America.

The politicians need to be talking directly to the corporations who make 10 billion dollars in profit a quarter. to the people who make 20-plus million dollars a year to ship American jobs overseas and lay off tens of thousands of hard working REAL Americans who love this country.

Reinvest in America? Yes, reinvesting is simple, pay your taxes and the infrastructure grows and is kept in repair. States can create jobs for 14 million americans so they can work, be taxed and reinvest in their communities.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

Reinvest? I am already heavily invested in America, when will corporate America and the 2-percenters catch up to us and pay their fair share?

1. Its a sign Wall St is starting to fear the protests
Without them in their faces, the investors would be more than happy to continue increasing the massive number of jobs that they send overseas to slash costs.

Think of this new PR as an opening bargaining ploy by the elites.

2. I think that's the case, too, trying to shift the blame
away from themselves and onto investors, most of whom already invest mostly in this country.

I have some carefully chosen foreign stuff, but not much of it, just enough to make my taxes more interesting.

3. Because they sense that there's still money out there to steal. Now invest up, you suckers!
They don't mean in infrastructure. That's not liquid. No, they want you to hand over whatever money you still have to the banks, so they can give it to the people who have proven, by the success with money demonstrated by their wealth, that they are the best at managing it.

4. The only people who can reinvest are the people with all the money. The 1%.
The rest of us can go homeless and die for all they care.
