Class warfare is destroying our country. Corporations and rich individuals ("the 1%") work hard to keep their taxes low, keep workers scared and keeping the unemployment rate high. We need to remove their incentive to destroy the middle class and give them clear financial incentives to act morally. This petition will align the financial interests of the 1% with the 99%. We want Congress to increase corporate and wealthy individuals' income tax rate with a large surtax when unemployment is high, and a reduced tax when unemployment is low. All most of them care about is their own financial situation. Under this proposal, the wealthy will work hard to reduce unemployment or suffer the consequences.

President obama the answer is so simple the banks got there bailouts. The hard working people of u.s.a. Should be released from any debt from a bank who got bailed out.

South Carolina's 7th Congressional District includes the Georgetown port. Time and time again, the port has been neglected by elected officials. It's time they stand up and vocally support or port and get dredging funds it desperately needs. Our action could result in forcing the new lawmaker to dredge our port and bring new jobs to Georgetown County in S.C. It's now time we tell all those who have the power to help Georgetown to do so now.

At the turn of the 20th century a lot of blood sweat and tears were shed to prevent big money, corrupt owners and management from endangering our lives and lively hoods. With unions, weather a member or not, wages are higher for all. My Postal union has been without a contract for 2 years and is in arbitration at this time. We have lost income in each of those 2 years because of mail counts without Union intervention. Our wages are going down and the cost of living is going up. We want to know where President Obama stands on this and please support our efforts.

Illinois has a large unemployment rate and is experiencing a shortfall in money to run its government. The gambling bill passed by the house and senate needs to be signed into law by Governor Quinn. It will increase jobs in state and also money in the general fund. Help small racetracks like Balmoral Park in Crete to compete with the large casinos mostly in Indiana that are taking Illinois revenue across state lines.

Congress must solve issues relating to the economic prosperity of the U.S.A

We the people elected the Congress and the Senate to do our business. Yet Congress will not address the Presidents plans to put people back to work. Now the Senate Minority leader wants to postpone business until after the election. The last three years we have paid these representatives a large salary plus benefits and we are made to suffer while they play POLITICS. Every 4 years we go to the polls to elect a group of leaders to do our business and I want to hold them accountable for the money we are paying them.

The Portage County Board will be voting on July 17 on whether or not to outsource the housekeeping jobs at the Health Care Center. This will cost 7 jobs that pay living wages and affordable benefits, it may negatively affect the residents at the HCC, the employees, and it will take money out of the local economy. Replacing jobs that pay living wages with affordable benefits with low-paying jobs with few benefits harms the local economy. We are asking the County Board to stop the contracting out of these positions.

Most American workers are required to work at least 2080 hours a year - an average of 40 hours a week. Our Congress seems to "work" when they want to; or rather, they seem to not work a lot of the time. They've been telling us that they want to help job creators. Go to work and do that. Vote on legislation that's presented and let the majority rule. Stop the foolishness that's going on.

It's about actually creating American Jobs. Wealthy people should sign it if they are sincere about helping the American Economy and not just themselves.
