• End tax on income used to pay student loans
    To incentivize education loan repayment, taxpayers should not have to pay federal or state income tax on wages, retirement funds, social security, or other income when it is used to repay education loan debt. The volume of education loan is soaring, the loan rates are extremely high relative to rates paid for savings, and the middle class--young and old -- is saddled with education loan debt. We need a mechanism like 529 plans that will make it easy to move money from wages, retirement funds, social security or other income into tax-free accounts that can be used to repay student and Parent Plus loans.

  • I Don't Support the F-35 Lightning II
    The U.S. has already spent $11.5 billion on the F-35 Lighting II, a multirole fighter jet. Over the 50-year lifespan of this program, it is estimated we will spend $1.5 trillion. It is estimated that we spent $1.030–$1.415 trillion on defense in 2011. This is senseless. The official website of the F-35 says they need our support and asks that we sign their petition. I ask that you do the opposite. Do not support this waste of money on another weapon.

  • Raise the Federal Minimum Wage for Tipped Employees!
    The federal minimum wage for tipped employees has been frozen since 1991 at $2.13 thanks to the efforts of restaurant lobbyists. In 1991, tipped employee wages were 50% of the federal minimum wage of $4.25. $2.13 is just 30% of the federal minimum wage of $7.25. It's time that we raise the wage for the hard working Americans that run our nation's restaurants and bars!

  • Tax Me Like A Rich Person
    Since Congress won't tax the rich for their fair share, I propose that we, the 99%, do not pay any more than the rich do. No more "middle class pays 25%". No, now we pay only 12 or 13%, like the really rich folks do. If the country needs more money, the rate will be raised evenly for ALL Americans. The rich shouldn't enjoy the fruits of the 99%'s tax dollars.

  • Lets invest in the USA Mr Romney
    Romney off shore accounts contain millions This money if related to Bain Capitol could attract foreign investors who do not want to deal with the US tax code. A Cayman islands-based company could invest in US companies and then move their profits offshore.Or is Romney trying to avoid paying a specific tax on investments made by his individual retirement account (IRA) Lets tell Romney to put his money in US banks.

  • Vote for President Obama
    If the Republicans get into office, we are going to be sorry. Benefits will be lost, unemployment and taxes will go increase for the middle and lower class citizens, and equal rights will be eliminated. Do you want that to happen? If not, please encourage your family and friends to register and get out and vote.
