11. Or reject any cuts in SS and Medicare? Or hold bankers accountable?
Tue Feb 12, 2013, 11:41 PM
Feb 2013

Or get corporate money out of our electoral system?

Or rein in the drug wars?

Or reject the pipeline and drilling and sale of the Gulf of Mexico?

Or stop the new massive free trade agreement?

Or stop the warrantless surveillance of all Americans and the militarization of our police departments?

Or stop the corporatization of our schools?

Or stop indefinite detention and the "kill lists" and claiming the right to murder American citizens without due process?

Anything about these major policies? Anything about reversing the corporatization of our government and the flood of lobbyists in Washington? Anything about the fact that virtually the entire "recovery" has gone to the top one percent, and that CEO pay continues to outstrip employee pay by obscene measures unseen in any other developed country? Any mention of the poverty numbers in this country and that one out of five of our children and seniors now live in poverty, and over a million of our schoolchildren are now homeless?

Any SERIOUS plans to address what was done to us and return what was stolen to the American people? Any plans to change the things listed above, which will continue and escalate the same devastating trajectory?

No, we are supposed to cheer about a proposal for nine dollars per hour.

Welcome to the second term.
