Freedom is the Big Illusion


By equating our tax pain and earned income with the elite wealthy tax annoyance and unearned income, we undermine our own capacity to build wealth:

Modern Serfdom in the USA


Our financial system is built to keep most of us in veiled servitude, subsidizing the elite wealthy.  Freedom is an illusion as we struggle to eek out a month-to-month existence (M2ME).  We're free to earn as much as our elite/corporate masters allow us to.

Astroturf built on Corporate, Political Parties, and Industry Trade Association Funding


Astroturf describes fake grassroots groups that are created and funded by corporations, political parties or industry trade associations to advance a political agenda.

Astroturf groups fighting media reform manufacture the impression of public opposition to issues like Net
Neutrality to sway policy makers and the media. What these groups won't tell you is that they're bought and paid for by the phone and cable industry. FreePress.net

Obama as a force for removal of freedom & choice? Taxing the wealthy.


This from a friend in re Obama:
I find it very ironic that the first black president is trying to make us all a slave of the goverment, take away our right to choose,make all of our decisions from cradle to grave, I will never vote for him,did not vote for him and will do all I can to defeat any policy that takes away my freedom.

ME:
The way I see it, we're slaves to the wealthy, who, in the end, sway most decisions made for us and REALLY don't have our best interests in mind। Fight for them to pay a MUCH greater portion of taxes from the wealth they're building off OUR backs।
