Send Washington a simple message: Austerity for ASSHOLES on Wall Street who caused the problem!
No more talk of cutting Social Security, Medicare, or busting public employee unions.

The way to get our fiscal and economic house in order is to bring those who broke it to heel.

Tax the wealthy at the same level they were taxed at the beginning of the Reagan administration.

Re-institute a transaction tax on Wall Street, and tax derivatives and shorting out of existence.

Put both in a package and set the rates so that our take equals the extortion Wall Street demanded in the bail out through their tool Hank Paulson: $700 billion.

And I would not call it a tax increase but ''Reaganomics Reparations.''
