MAKE WORK PAY
SECURE SOCIAL SECURITY
RETURN TO FAIRER TAX RATES
END THE WARS AND INVEST AT HOME
TAX WALL STREET SPECULATION
STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY
Seems a whole lot better than the Ryan(Norquist) plan doesn't it?For those unfamiliar with that abomination, it can be found here, though you'll have to read between the BS: http://www.roadmap.republicans.budget.house.gov/
Essentially the GOP plan is the opposite of The Contract for the American Dream. It privatizes Medicare and Social Security while producing even more cuts to social programs and more tax breaks to the rich. Nothing in there about rebuilding infrastructure, ending wars, creating good paying jobs, securing Social Security or preserving Democracy. Only "stay the course" as depicted by George W Bush at an even faster, more damaging rate than his installation.
As for the tea party, with all their
money and influence(ala Koch brothers and Grover Norquist among
others), all their media supported lies and all their twisted
ideology, we have real people on our side like The Raging Grannies!
Also teachers, firemen, policemen, nurses and other workers who have
lost their jobs or who will lose their jobs if this economic disaster
is allowed to continue. Our event was only one of many, vibrant
events that happened yesterday across the country in hundreds of
towns and cities. Imagine an event with hundreds of thousands of
people, altogether and converging upon one spot, Washington, DC. It
is on its way if we make it happen! We must make it happen if we are
ever to preserve a reasonable future for our kids and grandkids. My
guess is the Raging Grannies will get there and if they can do it, so
can we all!
