tax policies

Government can spend money on the many, on the few, or on no one (by running a budget surplus).

-by NoahDecember 1st is now a New Day Of Infamy. It will go down as the day that republicans chose use their Tax Scam to align themselves with multinational corporations and oligarchs over American citizens more blatantly and callously than ever before.

Please help Blue America urge Alan Grayson to run for Congress again. I sense he's halfway there already-- and I was right when I told you in 2015 Bernie was ready to run for president. All the Democrats representing the Orlando area are ineffective conservatives from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party-- Blue Dogs and New Dems.

"I have a rough time wanting to spend billions and billions and trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves-- won’t lift a finger-- and expect the federal government to do everything." Although reactionary vulture, Utah scumbag Orrin Hatch said this in regard to the children who count of CHIP (which he helped kill), he might as well have been talking about disabled veterans as well, since he just voted to set the governmen

Republicans are always having a collective hissy fit that the U.S. is the most over-taxed country in the world. They know they're lying.

For me, it would go something like this: "Hello, my name is Noah and I have a Republican in my family."Imagine being in a room with others who could say the very same thing. For too many suffering Americans, that is what they face every Thanksgiving.
