  • State Tax v. Income Tax
    Do not replace the revenue obtained from the state income tax by higher sales taxes! This only hurts low income families and those below the poverty line. If you don't believe this ask any low income family in Tennessee about their grocery bills.

  • Stop increasing our cost of fuel when Americans are struggling
    The cost of living keeps increasing while the income of the average american can't sustain their expenses. This is insanity and everybody is so stressed that instead of taking a stand they keep getting further in debt.

  • Repeal Corrupt $500 Million Giveaway to Amgen Corporation at Taxpayer Expense!
    Crony Capitalism is a pestilence that infects both major U.S. parties. Here’s a revealing case in point, involving the so-called “fiscal cliff deal” that was negotiated by the White House and the GOP, and showing how a $500 million payoff to biotech company Amgen was snuck in at the last minute, effectively reducing Amgen’s record U.S. fine of $762 million in criminal and civil penalties by two thirds, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer. See http://billmoyers.com/segment/u-s-rep-peter-welch-on-amgen%e2%80%99s-sweet-senate-deal/ In this exposé of political “skullduggery” (to use Bill Moyers’s term), Moyers reveals how a New York Times investigative report (published two days before the inauguration) traced the sell-out actions of Republican Mitch McConnell, Democrat Max Baucus and Republican Orrin Hatch, “a trio of perpetrators, who treat the U.S. Treasury as if it were a cash-and-carry annex of corporate America,” according to Moyers. We demand repeal of the paragraph that made this shameless giveaway to Amgen possible. Moyers’s discussion with House Democratic Representative Peter Welch suggests that even Tea Party GOPers might join in with other hoodwinked electeds to repeal this clearly corrupt payoff to a corporate wrongdoer. This is well worth viewing and acting upon to repeal what discredits our government and both houses at the highest levels. There can be no excuse for not going after this one!

  • Low Wages
    I sick to my stomach of these jobs paying minimum wage and have all kinds of rules!! They ought to be glad someone is there working. How do they expect someone to live on $8 an hr?? No raises, or cost of living raises. There should be a law made to change this!! Then they want you to pay for your Medical,Dental,Vision and Life Insurance Premiums and live off $5 hr after premiums and after taxes 20% ??? Does the CEO live on $8hr? Heck NO.. let them walk a day in our shoes and see how fast they would pay us more!! Just like Congress put them on $8 an hr and see how fast wages like these would change....!!!!
