    Communism gets it's start by demonizing the rich, this allows those who fear competition, to get started in figuring how to take money from those who earned it, until what???, they are broke also??/ ALL FAILED IDEAOLOGY BLAMES SOMEONE ELSE FOR THEIR FAILURES. Keep America Great.

    The Sons of Liberty have been buried in a history written by the rich, but they are rising again. When the stamp act was written in 1765 they were already grumbling about the Hudson Bay and East India Companies restricting trade unions and driving small business out of business. The tax on tea was the final straw. As they (The laborers, the small shop owners, the farmers" gathered and to their fight to the rich, so it will happen again. That is why all the wonderful media, "owned by the rich" keep writing that no one will do anything. They are scared to death that we will. They try an fool everyone into thinking they are the only ones thinking the greedy Republican rich need to be reminded of the consequences of their actions in crushing the hopes of our children's futures. They must be made to feel the consequences as we do. We fear for our jobs, our homes, food on the table. Lack of affordable health care is a death sentence to millions in America. When the pampered and privileged, the powerful know fear, they might begin to act human. But they won't do so willingly. \

    A home a piece of land, safety and security. Why does someone need TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS in the bank? They don't spend it. The only trickle down we get is yellow and warm. What could one person possibly due to reasonably earn FIFTY MILLION in one year? Nothing, it is obscene.

    The truth is, that we reward sociopathic behavior by promoting ruthless and corrupt people to positions of power. Most successful CEOs are crooks, cheats, and cruel people who care nothing for those who they make slave for their grandeur. Not all, but most members of the boards of directors are directly or indirectly are responsible for the suffering and despair of tens of millions of people in America, and Billions around the world. Some are good, but most just play at being kind. They wouldn't lift a hand or risk getting dirty to help anyone.

    The Suns of Liberty are rising again, are you one?
