Join us at the Enough is Enough Rally at the U.S. Capitol on #Oct29 2011.

If you agree that we can't allow American taxpayers to be robbed by 16 international corporations who pay to manipulate our government so that we pay more, and they pay less to operate it, please use the tools you have at your disposal — your social network — to share this video and make the truth go viral.

We may not have our own news channel, but We the People, using our intersecting spheres of influence, can challenge the corporately-generated narrative about how our tax dollars should be spent. We believe our money should be invested in America's future. They believe our money should be spent on tax breaks for the wealthy and tax giveaways for corporations.

The disproven framework by which the corporate agenda is sold to unsuspecting voters is called trickle-down economics: the notion that if enough of our tax dollars are given to the wealthy, some of them will come back to us in the form of jobs and charitable donations. It was a theory. We tried it. But look at the results.

1. For 30 years we haven't had "trickle down"--we've had "trickle over"

...as in let the Reagan tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations "trickle over" to the economies of other countries. Especially those with cheap labor and oppressed peoples.

The wealthy and corporations did not invest in the United States...they did not uphold their part of the agreement.

It's now time for them to pay up...

2. They overplayed their hand

They need to be reined in.
