  • Middle class consumers are the real job creators
    President Obama and the Democrats should focus on the basic economic fact that middle class consumers are the real job creators, as eloquently explained by Nick Hanauer: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-12-07/raise-taxes-on-rich-to-reward-true-job-creators-nick-hanauer.html#p1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBx2Y5HhplI The economy is the most urgent issue facing our nation, and this election presents a clear choice between the clearly broken policy of larding more money on the rich in the hopes that they will magically create more jobs, and the economically sound argument that a stronger middle class will create more jobs. With this argument, Obama and the democrats can directly undermine the central pillar of Romney and the Republican's campaign: that they are somehow uniquely capable of creating jobs. Just ask Romney directly how much economic growth he has generated by not paying his fair share of taxes -- is he buying products that American companies are producing, in the same quantities as would be the case if that money was instead in the hands of middle-class consumers? The current Obama campaign rhetoric: http://www.barackobama.com/record/economy?source=primary-nav focuses too much on the bailout and government intervention in specific industries -- this is an immediate turn-off to many potential voters. This argument transcends narrow party interests and should be something that can unite 99% of Americans -- it urgently needs to be made, forcefully and consistently, for the future of our country.

  • Real Estate Taxes Unreal!
    I inherited a house. The first half of the property tax was still on the senior citizen breaker and was around $600.00. The second installment was the total cost of the tax, about $4,500.00 minus the 1st payment, about $600.00 equaling $3939.00. What happened to the tax break the circuit breaker was covering for the first installment? All they did is deduct the first payment from the total tax. They should have cut the second installment by around half the total tax because of the senior citizen's discount. What a lovely system we have, LoL. I took care of my dying mother for 5 years and when I got my first job after she died, I'm making about $15,000.00 a year. It took me 7 months to save for a car to get to work to pay my taxes, but I had to give all my savings for a car to the tax man. And I still owe them $1,900.00. Damn it, MAN!

  • Bring Back Glass-Steagall
    Most analysts agree that the repeal of the financial regulation provided by the Glass-Steagall law made possible the financial meltdown that hurt so many of our citizens and led to the worst recession since the 1930s. I personally lost $50,000 of a $60,000 investment that was a large part of my retirement nest egg, and others in the same investment lost everything.

  • How has Mitt Romney demonstrated the trickle down theory?
    The basis of the GOP economic plan is tax cuts for the "job creators." How many permanent, full-time, non-campaign, American jobs has Mitt Romney created with the money saved since the Bush tax cuts went into effect?

  • Tell Senate candidate Joe Kyrillos to support the millionaires tax in NJ!
    New Jersey Republican Senate candidate Joe Kyrillos made waves recently when he said that he might support 'smart' taxes on the wealthy. This comes after years of siding with his good friend Chris Christie and opposing all attempts for a New Jersey millionaires tax as a member of the state legislature. We think asking New Jersey's millionaires to pay their fair share so that the state can invest in education and job creation is pretty smart. Let's see if Joe Kyrillos is willing to do more than just talk about making the wealthy pay their fair share. Tell him to co-sponsor the millionaires tax in NJ!

  • Expose Corruption
    Trillions of unproductive dollars are siphoned out of our economy every year by everything from simple nepotism to cash bribery. As a result the wealth that we generate as a society has been redistributed to the top 1% where it has effectively been hoarded and taken out of productive circulation. After thirty years of labor saving technological developments this siphoning off of our collective wealth by the scam artists has left the rest of us struggling to make ends meet. As a result we can not address ourselves to society's challenges of climate change and global hunger because we are too busy trying to keep our head above water to feed our families.

  • A Middle Class Amendment
    We can't take our middle class economy for granted. It will not somehow fix itself. In fact, it is more likely to continue to devolve into an economy that cannot grow or provide economic opportunity for most of us. Neither the “invisible hand” of the market, nor piece‐ meal legislative initiatives proposed by well‐meaning politicians, will get us where we need to be. We need something bigger, something more comprehensive, something more lasting. That “something” is an amendment to the United States Constitution to protect our middle class economy
