A report by the National Employment Law Project last summer said that mid-wage occupations — paying $14 to $21 an hour — accounted for 60 percent of the job losses during the recession, but just 22 percent of the job growth in the recovery. By contrast, low-wage jobs — defined as those paying $7 to $13 an hour — had accounted for 58 percent of the job growth as of last summer, while they accounted for just 21 percent of the job losses during the downturn.

yeah they have a program going on now using humans for lab rats involving chronic pain. they give the test subjects 7,000 dollars to test this new pain patch they have and a years worth of patches to get involved in this study and i for one am not going to take any damned thing i do not know what it is and the side effects the big pharma is the reason i am deaf. when i was 18 months old they gave me a series of streptomycin shots that killed the auditory nerves in both ears so i damned sure am not about to take something i do not know about especially seeing what all of these drugs they are coming out with are doing to people. thanks for the post and the article above.

Come the [R]évolutión, price gouging and profiteering in vital human services would be considered an act of chickenshittedness – which come the revolution, all forms of chickenshittedness would be banned. That goes for Big Pharm and the Insurance Industrial Complex in health care; same as usury in banking on Wall Street, and the Pentagon’s ”revolving door” on K Street.

done did that to a point just ain’t figured out how to get out of the ripoff sales taxes that goes up every time you turn around.

Im going further than that: Here is first draft proposal:

Non-Violent Solution to the Total Systemic Failure of Government:

I will first qualify by saying that it is not that I disagree with Taxation. BUT, the Taxes of the ordinary citizens are being impudently stolen and misappropriated and those within this government are the ones who are stealing it and brazenly using it for themselves to live high on the hog, right as they continue to cut public service programs. The U.S. government itself has become the main problem and there is no band-aid solution to total systemic failure.

To be clear: I believe strongly in fair taxation if and only if the money is spent for the total abolition of Poverty in America; for the building and maintenance of infrastructure; Education for all citizens; Direct access to Health Care for all citizens, which will include the total elimination of ”health care insurance;” And for the Programs that benefit the Common Good, that which has not been considered at all by this government.

Therefore, I disagree with paying, in any way, or supporting at all, a government that clearly represents corporate interests over any interests of We the People, the tax-paying citizens of the United States. It is simply criminal and totally contemptible how these government ”employees” are conducting themselves. And let us remember the fact that these ”employees” are only there to represent the interests of the common good of the country and its citizenry. They are decidedly not there to represent corporate interests. In fact, it is indeed amoral what these ”officials” are doing to the very citizens who entrusted them, not to mention the total and callous disregard for the poor, the elderly and the disabled among us. This is not civilized and I will no longer support or endorse such a disgraceful and corrupt government.

My solution is as follows, but requires action of all citizens:

1. Stop paying All taxes: Local, State, Federal
2. Stop paying All Bank Debt
3. Stop paying All ”Insurance” companies
4. Withdraw All Monies from Insolvent Banks
5. Stop working for slave-wages

Peaceful, non-violent demonstrations to Demand that each member, in each branch of this government, vacate their positions at once.

Here is a sample letter to government representatives stating intent:

Letter to Representative Lois Capps,

Ms. Capps,

You are included in the following statement, by your abject incompetence; your total refusal to address the systemic failure of this government; and your total and willful ignorance of any and all real issues, along with your continued insistence on focusing instead on trifling, insignificant non-issues. Thus, Ms. Capps, you are very much a part of the problem:

It is abundantly clear that the U.S. government, including Congress, the Senate, the ”Judicial” system, and all of it’s other useless agencies do not represent ”We the People.” The U.S. government is clearly owned, lock, stock and barrel by the Corporations, including the Banks and Wall Street, that have enthroned themselves.

I am, therefore, calling for you, along with every other member of each branch of this government, to remove yourself without protest, from your post in this systemically failed government.

Sincerely,

bomb throwing doesn’t help, but then neither does climate change

For every dollar spent on running IRS, $3 to $5 is collected for the treasury. Sequestering is costing us a fortune. Taxes are necessary. No question about that. Is as-is taxation fair? No! The re-write has to have a fairness quotient. On a sliding scale, people who can’t afford to pay taxes wouldn’t even be asked, and would in fact get money back on their federal taxes to offset what is the overpaying of ”local” and state (sales and gasoline) taxes.

Regulate (nationalize) interest-free, no-usury banks for conducting everyday transactions.

Nationalize the Federal Reserve under the wing of the Treasury. Money is safer in We the People’s bank than stuffed into a lumpy mattress somewhere. Ever notice how many crooks are in the mattress business? Shoot! They advertise on TV.

As for working as slaves with wages to match, that’s where workers representation (unions) come in. Repeal all of the so-called ”states rights” and ”right to work” laws. Let workers negotiate their pay and working conditions with the government and the private sector.

It still starts and stops at the ballot box; electing politicians who will fight for our causes, and our voting out those who represent the interest (no pun intended) of the 1%.

Climate change insurance, anyone?

Insurance is tricky, starting with divorce insurance. It is well known that divorce more often than not leads directly to bankruptcy. You’ll notice, not even Lloyds of London insures against divorce. Neither do they insure against floods in a flood plane, or against forest fires in a forest. People who live down at the beach are really stupid. We the People should not be expected to pay for the stupidity of others. Just as there should be a single-payer scheme (nationalized) for health care, fire and flood and disaster insurance should be readily available to anyone who doesn’t build in a flood plane or in a forest. After 2063, none except private sector insurance will be provided in the aforementioned flood planes, forests, or where there are earthquakes, tornados and hurricanes. Come the révolutión, the self-insuring government will be expected to own housing enough for the workers that are required to live thereabouts for their work.

I tried to read the article but am getting an error – Page not found. Can u pls repost?

I agree that that is NOT a good plan so we must both be crazy. ⊙_ʘ

If I may I’d like to share a few excerpts from an article I submitted earlier this week for anyone to share and pass on:
”…The BIS (Bank Of International Settlement) has been called “the most exclusive, secretive, and powerful supranational club in the world…”
”…Dr. Quigley was Professor of History at Georgetown University, where he was President Bill Clinton’s mentor. He was also an insider, groomed by the powerful clique he called “the international bankers.” His credibility is heightened by the fact that he actually espoused their goals. He wrote:

“I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960′s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. . . . [I]n general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.”

Quigley wrote of this international banking network:

“[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations…”

This is beyond STUPIDITY!

”Those that embrace socialism instead of capitalism.”
SOCIALISM IS NOT AN ECONOMIC MODEL ITS A GOVERNMENTAL MODEL. that is rich guy scare tactics as much as socialism = communism = fascism when in fact the U.S. has very little REAL socialism and a whole lot of fascism.
Germany is Socialistic and Capitalistic and they currently have the most stable economy in the EU.

Amen!
