We need decent jobs that are geared towards research and technology In our area.

Our property and tags taxes are to high and so many people can not afford to pay them.

Goals include improving unemployment, education, ridding of violence and guns, building Detroit back. Now is the time. Allowing suburban areas to promote the film industry and industries that build Pontiac and areas that have been abandoned. Now is the time.

We, as a family, have been directly affected by the change in "Residency Status" and my husband having to pay Utah State Income Tax when there are no jobs for him in Utah. 51 weeks is a long time to have to look and Florida was the State that had a job for him. He is close to retirement and we would like to stay here but may not be able to afford to.

We have a lack of good paying jobs with benefits. Lack of stable jobs has caused great stress in my community. We have more temp services that hire for only a short time but there's always a fear after being hired of how long the job will last before lay- off. This has caused me a great deal of stress and I hope one day for a true change in our economy.

Stop moving New York calls out of New York State. If we are expected to pay New York prices for telephone service , we want New Yorkers to answer our call. Moving New York work to Right to Work States just isn't working and we are loosing thousands of jobs in New York,

Unions are and have been the building block of the middle class, now Governor brownback and the GOP are wanting to tear this down!

President Obama won re-election decisively in 2012. He ran on a simple budget platform of a balanced approach. It is not balanced to make the most vulnerable Americans pay, in the form of Sequester cuts, for decades of reckless financial policies crafted by Congress. 1. The Bush Administration gave the top 2% wealthiest Americans a “temporary” tax break in 2001. These tax breaks have cost ordinary citizens nearly 1.17 trillion dollars in lost revenue since then. 2. Under President Bush, Congress funded two wars without paying for them. Invading Iraq and Afghanistan cost taxpayers 3.7 trillion dollars and counting. 3. Bailing out the banks has cost upwards of 12.8 Trillion. 4. Allowing corporations to avoid paying any corporate income taxes has cost taxpayers 78.3 billion since 2008 alone. According to the Wall Street Journal 69% of all U.S. corporations pay nothing. These policies helped create the debt and the income inequality that plague this nation today. Individuals like Governor Mitt Romney now pay less percentage-wise in taxes than do their secretaries, and far less in taxes overall than they have ever paid historically. It is unfair, unsustainable and unpatriotic. America needs to invest in our children, our infrastructure and safeguard our social safety net to protect our elder citizens, people with disabilities and those living below the poverty line, many who are working multiple jobs. The deficit, as a % of GDP, has been going steadily down, under President Obama. The calls for austerity now are at best disingenuous. The Sequester cuts are designed to hurt the most vulnerable among us. To allow them to stand is morally reprehensible. If Government needs more money then restore the 1990 tax rates on the top 2%. Americans voted in favor of that. And a simple way to make social security solvent for 75 years would be to remove the cap on income subject to social security tax. Please do the patriotic thing and cosponsor HR900 and cancel the sequester cuts immediately and retroactively. 1: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/04/us/politics/poor-face-most-pain-as-automatic-budget-cuts-take-effect.html?pagewanted=all / http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/02/budget-cuts-sequester-low-income-poor 2: http://costoftaxcuts.com/about/ 3: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/29/us-usa-war-idUSTRE75S25320110629 4: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/economy/the-true-cost-of-the-bank-bailout/3309/ 5: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/04/09/460519/major-corporations-no-taxes-four-year/?mobile=nc 6: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203733504577026361246836488.html 7: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/14/income-inequality-is-at-a_n_259516.html 8:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/31/business/31leonhardt.html?ex=1351569600&en=b1065bf4721795fa&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink / http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/31/are-taxes-in-the-u-s-high-or-low/ 9: http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2012/ted_20120405.htm 10: http://maddowblog.msnbc.com/_news/2012/11/21/15340295-the-fastest-deficit-reduction-in-generations?lite / http://www.nbcnews.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/vp/50965800 5 min : 50 sec 11: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/08/25/304387/bernie-sanders-introduces-bill-to-lift-the-payroll-tax-cap-ensuring-full-social-security-funding-for-nearly-75-years/

Demand affordable hoising.

Still trying to eliminate unions.

Follow North Dakota's example and end the treasonous existence of a private central bank, issuing money against interest. http://www.nationofchange.org/indentured-servitude-seniors-social-security-garnished-student-debts-1336916256 “Canada, from 1939 to 1974, was keeping its national debt low and sustainable while funding massive programs including seaways, roadways, pensions, and national health care. The national debt shot up only when the government switched from borrowing from its own central bank to borrowing from private lenders at interest.” http://www.nationofchange.org/it-s-interest-stupid-why-bankers-rule-world-1352479167 "Borrowing from its own central bank interest-free might even allow a government to eliminate its national debt altogether. In Money and Sustainability: The Missing Link (at page 126), Bernard Lietaer and Christian Asperger, et al., cite the example of France. The Treasury borrowed interest-free from the nationalized Banque de France from 1946 to 1973. The law then changed to forbid this practice, requiring the Treasury to borrow instead from the private sector. The authors include a chart showing what would have happened if the French government had continued to borrow interest-free versus what did happen. Rather than dropping from 21% to 8.6% of GDP, the debt shot up from 21% to 78% of GDP. “No ‘spendthrift government’ can be blamed in this case,” write the authors. “Compound interest explains it all!” More than Just a Federal Solution It is not just federal governments that could eliminate their interest charges in this way. State and local governments could do it too. Consider California. At the end of 2010, it had general obligation and revenue bond debt of $158 billion. Of this, $70 billion, or 44%, was owed for interest. If the state had incurred that debt to its own bank—which then returned the profits to the state—California could be $70 billion richer today. Instead of slashing services, selling off public assets, and laying off employees, it could be adding services and repairing its decaying infrastructure. The only U.S. state to own its own depository bank today is North Dakota. North Dakota is also the only state to have escaped the 2008 banking crisis, sporting a sizable budget surplus every year since then. It has the lowest unemployment rate in the country, the lowest foreclosure rate, and the lowest default rate on credit card debt.” --- “Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of the Eternal God, will rout you out.” - Andrew Jackson „Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes or enforces the laws.” - Mayer Amschel Rothschild; 1790 "History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and it's issuance." - James Madison "Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave." - Leo Tolstoy "The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." - Sir Josiah Stamp, Director of the Bank of England "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." - Thomas Jefferson
