I am so sick of being lied to!!!!!!!
It is overwhelming to sit and listen to the lies and distortions of reality being spewed on tv. and all these comfy folks who have theirs so they can live with the status quo. the big lie is that taxes are bad; that government spending is bad. taxes fund civilization. we need to spend the next two years informing americans about the value of taxes. and the tax cost needs to fall on the wealthy, on corporations, and on the man on the street.

1. What pisses me off is that corporations should pay more, just
because the military is there to protect their World-wide investments. While the military does give stability to our society, corporations benefit far more from military strength that we do as individuals.

3. i have been a daily multi times a day reader of DU
for many years. but i also watch television and it helps me see how people can have such a distorted view of reality. i keep looking for a way to address people's distorted ideas with information that would help them think differently...

i work in an office full of very nice people who are not well informed on many basic critical issues... i want to figure out how to ease them into a better informed and self preserving behavior in a gentle way. i am a bit of a nutrition nut so i provide nutritious snacks and bring tasty, healthy dishes to potlucks...

now i will begin to talk up taxes in subtle ways...my goal is that people understand who pays and who gets the money. we have two years to educate. it's really about helping people make decisions that are really in their favor.
