New Rights are coming....

[catnhatnh]

Most will look familiar to those whom remember FDR. The things not mentioned are that normal living requires more than in 1932.

Their "ownership" lies were just that-owning a house doesn't fly when you can't provide fuel to heat it in the winter, nor food for those who live in it, or...Well, a doctor's care.

When their paradyne means just means that 40 hours a week EVEN if you can find it, guarantees NOTHING-neither food, nor a place with a roof, nor heat, nor healthcare....

Then what can be your impetus? I live in the nether zones and hope for the best.

The fact is in any place or time, the lack of any of these should be criminal...

If a drunken bum is left to freeze this winter-Well, that is not your fault-but if he dies because there were no addiction programs, nor shelters, nor soup kitchens, then Yes-you let him die.

A new time IS coming and you will be found to be your brothers keeper. If you believe rampant competition for large homes and cars are a valid goal, you must reassess-a true balance is found when no one sleeps worried about tommorrow. The least among you must receive the same basic shit-A roof, some food, and when needed a doctor...

A job would be a good thing if they can perform it-if they fail to or cannot perform it, what should they surrender as a right or need?

Republicans now ask that you run a race,just to break even. Demoscrats should say that even those that fail to run have a place in our community.

We were put here to help each other...
I see no problem in having corporations and the wealthy taxes. They are using the society to a greater extent than those who are earning less.
We are all indebted to the society for what we get from it...and the more we get, the more grateful we should be.

I think Thom Hartmann has spoken very eloquently on this subject.

Corporations are taxed because they use public services, and are therefore expected to help pay for them - the same as citizens.

Corporations make use of a work force educated in public schools paid for with tax dollars. They use roads and highways paid for with tax dollars. They use water, sewer, and power and communications rights-of-way paid for with taxes. They demand the same protection from fire and police departments as everybody else, and enjoy the benefits of national sovereignty and the stability provided by the military and institutions like NATO and the United Nations, the same as all residents of democratic nations.

In fact, corporations are heavier users of taxpayer-provided services and institutions than are average citizens. Taxes pay for our court systems, which are most heavily used by corporations to enforce contracts. Taxes pay for our Treasury Department and other governmental institutions which maintain a stable currency essential to corporate activity. Taxes pay for our regulation of corporate activity, from assuring safety in the workplace to a pure food and drug supply to limiting toxic emissions.
