Democrats want to take all our money and return to us one dime out of each dollar.
Republicans want to take all our money and give it to corporations and the wealthy.
Neither is acceptable!

The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations.

There are members of the Republican Party who stand behind the working class. But Rick Perry is not one of them. He’s a want-a-be President, therefore he’s buttering up big business, just like Bush II did, in order to get their backing. [...]
The Democrats in Congress are using the unemployment stimulus money to try to get states to change some laws that is none of their business. If the Democrats would take off their blinders and get out of that ‘it’s payback time’ mentality — [...]

If President Obama and others will jump through the hoops for one idiot and twelve dummy’s, imagine what they would do if five million people stood in front of the White House and demanded our $74 billion back. [...]
