That just illustrates the reported and accounted for monetary subsidies for the Petroleum Mafia. What it DOES NOT ILLUSTRATE is the cost to the United States for the military services rendered to the Petroleum Mafia. And let's face it, for all practical purposes the United States Military and it's infrastructure are the world-wide security service for the Petroleum Mafia and it's various interests.

Wall Street bailouts, tax handouts to the rich, and corporate loopholes are draining our nation's wealth. Yet many claim we can't afford basic social programs. Join us to fight the lie: America is NOT broke—we're being robbed.

6. America is Being Robbed

The worst of the 1% are stockpiling more cash than the Pharoahs ever dreamed of, while Americans suffer and politicians tell us that America is "broke."

Enough is enough. America isn't broke -- we're being robbed. Over the next six months, we'll be calling out those who are robbing America and proving that we can Rebuild the American Dream

The first step in fighting back is to commit to each other that we won't buy the myth, and we won't sit silent while today's robber barons set the terms of the debate.

Add your name to those of other Rebuilders now.
