2. Me too. Here's what's on my table, since these are the causes
of where we are right now:

1)End the Bush Tax Cuts, now. If we are really in an emergency situation we cannot afford to carry these corporate welfare queens any longer.

2)Raise the cap on SS taxes.

3)End the wars, we can't afford to support War Conractors either anymore, the free ride is over.

4)CREATE JOBS and TAX any Corp that takes jobs OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

5)Start investigating the corrupt Wall St. gang that is the most obvious cause of the economic collapse, the Mortgage Crisis and all that that entailed and find the money they stole.

6)Slash, not cut, but slash the grossly over-bloated military budget and start finding the money that has been wasted. They are the biggest wasters of Govt. tax dollars.

7)Raise SS benefits to help stimulate the economy, it's their money and they earned it.

8)Start deconstructing Homeland Security. The waste of tax dollars going to that huge unnecessary entity supposedly meant for 'security' is a crime. Ending the wars will do more for our security than any further expansion of the security state.


I'm sure all these things are on the table since these are the reasons why we are in the position we are in.

The MIC and Wall St. have been feeding from the Government trough for far too long. It's time for them to go on an 'austerity' program and start 'sharing the sacrific'.

Enough is enough.
