Tax credits for creating jobs should only be given when that job is filled on a permanent full time basis. No more tax breaks before a job is created.

Republicans have willfully and deliberately obstructed the passage of all of the Obama jobs bills that would immediately put millions back to work. They have done this against the interests of the people who overwhelmingly want this passed. Republicans are interested in power and not interested in the will of the people. If they continue to block these bills you have recourse in voting them out of office. They are aware of your power with the vote which is why they are working overtime to create voter suppression laws state by state which will take away your democratic rights to vote them out.

Everywhere I look in my upscale Manhattan neighborhood I see the blight of empty storefronts. Small businesses constantly fail, sometimes businesses that have been in the same location for years, because there is no regulation of commercial rent. I am saddened by the loss of businesses I have patronized and business owners who have been my neighbors over the years.

Government promotion of Employee ownership of Businesses

establish a public bank to refinance all consumer debt......mortgages, auto, education....all interest paid to this bank will be used IN LIEU OF TAXES.....ALL TAXES......local, state, federal..........a typical american family pays 50% of its income in interest to private bankers......this must come to an end....these monies will now finance government.....when this is done, government will now answer to the people, not to the bankers and the corporations.....the stranglehold these institutions have on our government must be broken !!!!

establish public banks, state by state....these banks will refinance all consumer debt......mortgages, education, auto......all interest paid on these loans will be paid to the state, IN LIEU OF TAXES......ALL TAXES.....state, federal, local.....a typical american family pays 50% of its monthly income, as interest, to PRIVATE bankers....this money will now be as revenue by the states

As more people lose their jobs and homes, government punishes the least empowered while enriching the upper class. Instead, let's have a stimulus that works: pay every mortgage in the country for a year. Don't give it to the banks, give it to the people, and let it trickle down to the banks. Homeowners can buy pay off bills, buy new floors, new landscaping, new cars, and more, creating jobs on the ground, where they are needed. It will cost far less than directing a trillion dollars to the banks, and benefit every sector of the nation.

I would like to start a petition so that US residence will unite lower Gas Prices. It seems like the last time we did this gas prices went down by 10 cents or more.

Mitt Romney wants Americans to cut tax's for the wealthy. He's asking us to pay more so, people like himself can pay less. Every one has been affected by the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest and, Middle Class is erroding at the expense of Congress.

This petition is not technical in its description. It is simply a wish for our government to admit that we have a problem with the economic system. The usage of money is an effective way to manage barter and trade, however, since we have never been able to pay the debt created on top of the money supply since it has always exceeded the total amount of the money supply, the "industry" of banking produces nothing, no goods or food that can be used to sustain life on our planet. It is only a tool that favors the rich hugely in order to create imaginary profits which enable those people to also contribute nothing to society and is payed for by denegrating the poor into paying the highest interest rates when each dollar of theirs is more vital to the basic survival of themselves and their dependents. We, the people of the Unites States, have an obligation to change policies which hinder the prosperity of our country. Currently the banking industry has perpetuated the figurative slavery of all who are not in the top percentages of income. We rely on our government to create laws that prevent people or corporations from taking too much without providing adequate goods or services to earn their wealth. Since money and banking are such critically important factors in our economy, the "industry" of banking should be run by the state, since it is a clear conflict of interest to have a business responsible for ensuring the safety of our money while also having an obligation to shareholders to produce profit at any cost. Since they do not actually create goods or services, there is no loss of anything contributing to the standard of life for us. This would also help to alleviate tax fraud since the records would largely be readily available to the Treasury. Honest Americans should have no reason to hide this information and should not fear that it will be spent unwisely, such as the bailout which was paid for by taxpayers to earn the priveldge to continue to be taxed by interest we couldn't afford in the first place. Since the U.S. made the money, it should earn the interest generated through loans, which will ultimately be paid back into public works. When the rich are left to "trickle down", that is not guaranteed, ever, & generally one does not become rich by giving money away. Before we reach the brick wall of oil depletion, we need to take the power back from the corporations and give it back to the government, which represents the American people. Any outsourcing of American jobs needs to be accounted for and the opportunity cost to the people and communities from the loss of jobs, environmental damages in transporting goods across the world that could be produced domestically should be taxed accordingly to close this mammoth loophole to maximize profit over the country's stability, & is reaching critical points of economic disparity where many people are out at risk of being homeless, starving with no opportunity to correct the problem realistically. It is largely the biggest threat to our nation than all of crime, extremists, and disease put together, & many of those problems are in fact secondary problems caused by the current economic problem that I am humbly begging for you to truly change the world, to oppose the holders of power (money) from continuing this is dangerous, but they can keep the wealth they have now, but once it runs out they should have to produce goods or services to earn future wealth without cheating the environment and people to make huge profits for the top while people can barely afford the basics or not afford them at all. This is not a request for socialism, or communism, just a check to keep the levels of profits to those who create, not rest on their laurels.
