Krystal Ball gave an impassionate and prescient rant on unions on MSNBC’s, The Cycle. In her rant she urged citizens not to bask in the aspiration of President Obama’s speech. While the speech was a very progressive speech, she states that there is one issue that went unmentioned, the decline of the American union membership. […]
Middle Class Americans Broke Because Of Government Policy Dictated By Plutocracy
If one watches CNBC or most financial channels, the impression is given that the free market as the best allocator of resources if left unfettered is the solution to all that ails the country’s economy.

Let Us Go Over The Fiscal Cliff And Start Anew
The fiscal cliff negotiation is a scam whose intent is to undermine the intelligence of the American citizens.

The Tax Proposals in Plan B Raise only about $300 billion from high-income households – less than one third of the amount Boehner offered: Because it cuts incomes tax rates on the first $1 million of income and repeals tax expenditure limits for even the very highest earners, Plan B raises only about $250 billion […]
Time For Wealthy & CEOs To Thank The Middle Class For 30+ Years Of Sacrifice
The election is over and by a 3% margin Americans have decided to reelect President Obama. I will be the first to say that I believe President Obama governed like a centrist Republican in his first term. I think he did that to ensure a second term. After-all the President’s stimulus was heavy on […]
Nick Hanauer TED Speech – Wealthy Do Not Create Jobs–The Middle Class Does
