I want to present the facts that "The trickle down effect is not working"

Many major US corporations and businesspeople don't pay their fair share in taxes due to loopholes. This is not only unfair to every other tax payer it leaves much less revenue for essential services.

Laws are supposed to protect our rights and help keep us safe - that’s just common sense. But last year, multiple politicians introduced and passed laws written of, by, and for corporations - specifically by the corporate front group the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). In recent weeks, ALEC has faced renewed scrutiny. This is partially thanks to revelations that they have worked diligently (and secretly) to pass Kill-At-Will laws like Florida’s that let Trayvon Martin’s killer go free, union-busting laws like in Wisconsin, and voter suppression efforts across the country. ALEC is not just another conservative advocacy outfit. An estimated 98 percent of their funding comes from big corporations, not grassroots members. Corporate lobbyists write ALEC “model legislation” and then send these bills off to state capitols around the country - including to Republican politicians in Lansing, several of whom were caught last year paying their ALEC dues with taxpayer funds.

J.P. Morgan Chase illegally attempts to foreclose on properties. In order to foreclose and gain equity Chase placed an escrow account on my mortgage by paying the county taxes on my property one day early, before they were due. This created an escrow account which they said my payments were short paid and placed them in escrow instead of applying them to my mortgage payment. They did this for 6 months and then refused to take my payments placing the property for sale on the court house steps. After recording an assistant to the CEO's office admiting Chase could not explain their actions, he assured me Chase would straighten the matter out. They never did apply the correct payments or credit my overpayments toward the principal instead of the late fees that they illegally assessed. That was last year in April. I just received another letter this April advising me my house was in foreclosure AGAIN and was to be sold May 1, 2012.

The law banning or establishing a maximum on executive bonus' should be expanded or clarified to include all types of executive bonus' no matter what they are called. Companies are getting around the law which bans or sets a maximum amount that can be given as "executive bonus'" by simply changing the name to executive incentive bonus'." This is particularly galling because it is being done by Wall Strret companies who, I believe, created the financial crisis in the first place. Some continue to give out millions of dollars in those kinds of bonus' while laying off hundreds of their non-executive workers.

Major Cellphone companies are making historic profits and continue to charge families more for data than individuals. Why do families pay $100/mo. for 1.5 Gigabytes of data when an individual can buy 3 GB of data for $30? (based on AT&T plans comparing 5 phones on family plan at 300 MB each vs individual with 3 GB plan.)

The Minnesota Legislature is considering a bill that would label foods containing genetically engineered ingredients (GMOs). More than 9 out of 10 consumers support labeling GMOs. Yet the Minnesota House just voted against this measure. And in the Minnesota Senate, it hasn't even gotten an initial committee hearing. Now's the time to tell legislators: I have a right to know about GMOs in the food I'm buying!

On television and radio, the commercials are routinely made to play much louder than the regular programming. This is an offense to the ears of all Americans and an imposition upon all American citizens of all political bents. A strictly-enforced rule should be enacted to forbid this practice.

Corporations are not people, and the decision to allow corporate interests to fund as much money without disclosure into political campaigns is clearly unconstitutional this decision should be thrown out. More than any other preceding law, this one decision does more to undermine the integrity of our political system and allows corporate interests and their deep pockets to literally steer this country away from "for and by the people" , to "for and by the corporations. I cannot imagine our founding forefathers signing on to something that distorted.
