Unfortunately we do not get real information from either mainstream media or right wing media. The media and to some extent the Democratic Party continues to buy into the Republican fallacy that we have an entitlement problem. The reality is we have a revenue problem. We have allowed because of our taxation policies a few to get wealthy at the same time we decide on cutting services to the middle class.
This travesty continues because of a citizenry that is oblivious to the reality of our budget deficits and tax structure. The media, the arbiter of our democracy has failed in keeping Americans informed. Instead they have become mouth pieces of the oligarchy.

Let’s get the facts BEFORE we get angry about taxes and the debt
As Congress debates cutting essential programs that affect our future, let’s investigate why we have a deficit and a debt problem. Our tax code is full of loopholes created and exploited by big corporations. They spend the millions that they don’t pay in taxes to control our government with misleading commercials, political donations, and an army of lobbyists camped out on K Street.
In return, politicians INSIDE our government feign alarm over the deficits created by the tax loopholes their corporate funders have installed, and propose that the difference be made up ordinary people like you and me — by taxes on our pensions and cuts in public safety, job creation, infrastructure, and education.
"Won’t this anger the voters?" the politicians ask. "Don’t worry, we’ll pay for campaign commercials, grassroots movements, and think tanks to distract deceive them," the corporate lobbyists say.
We won’t be deceived any longer. We demand that Congress represent We the People instead of corporate campaign funders and lobbyists!

Get the facts with NPP
Last time we directed our members to National Priorities Project (NPP), their site actually crashed because so many taxpaying Americans wanted to know how their money is being spent. Now, NPP’s website is back with a vengeance, and, more bandwidth.Below are the four charts sited in the video we produced with Jo Comerford, NPP’s Executive Director. Click on them and you’ll be directed to a National Priorities Project web page with the same graphic, and lots more information.
