Buy what we make. We do manufacture a lot more than shopping malls display but you will never know that unless you make the effort to find what you want or need.

I would like our Congress to submit a balanced budget to America.

The Rich have been running our nation's companies into the ground just for the money. When a company is taken over and it's financial bones picked clean 'Just For the money ' it lays off workers, it closes the doors on product access, and services, and the PATENTS and Licenses Used to make and provide products and services are lock away or worst sold to foreign countries.

America used to promise that working hard and playing by the rules would in turn bring a paycheck that could support a family, opportunities to advance and build a better life for your kids. But today, America’s promise to provide equal opportunity and reward hard work has been hijacked by companies like Walmart and the richest 1% of Americans who practice a double standard that treats workers one way and rich executives another. On the one hand, Walmart fired me and another worker and disciplined a third who spoke out for better work conditions. I was fired for taking sick days to care for my ailing grandmother and have since been evicted from my home – despite the fact that my manager approved the leave. It turns out, we all have one thing in common – we’ve been speaking out publicly about uniting our co-workers across the country for fair wages, full time hours and most of all, respect and dignity at Walmart - America’s largest private employer. On the other hand, despite its own ethics statement calling on employees to “follow the law at all times” and “reveal and report all information truthfully, without manipulation or misrepresentation,” Walmart rewarded top executives with promotions and bonuses – despite the fact they ignored and covered up the bribery of public officials. Something isn’t right. We need to come together to end this double standard that is dividing America. Even super-rich-and-powerful executives need to play by the same rules as the rest of us. Tell Walmart that CEO Mike Duke and Chairman Rob Walton must resign for their roles in the bribery and cover-up scandal and demand that hard working associates their jobs back.

The Republicans keep trying to get tax cuts for the wealthy because they "Create Jobs". Not only does the theory of Supply-side economics not make sense, but the practice has proven that the wealthy do not create jobs because we give them more money. Why not subsidize only those wealthy or those businesses that actually create jobs. In this way, the American taxpayer can be saved a lot of money: As an example, let's say that instead of giving all of the wealthy and all businesses tax breaks before they've created jobs, we only give those wealthy individuals and businesses money after they've created jobs. If only 20% of the wealthy individuals and businesses create jobs, we've saved 80% of the money that would have been given away for no reason. This is why I have little faith in Republicans and Democrats: Why couldn't they get support for an idea such as this, let alone come up with it in the first place.

Wisconsin lake property taxes have been increasing consistently, to the point that the majority of lake property owners are wealthy owners from big cities with higher salaries, using their WI lake house as a second property. Keep hard-working middle-class Wisconsinites in their lake homes, don't sell out our state for others to enjoy and keep nothing for ourselves.

Our current Tax Code has thousands of pages and millions of words; it is incomprehensible, even by the experts and the IRS themselves. It is unfair, obscure, and subject to endless manipulation for purely political reasons. This is clearly a non-partisan issue negatively impacting all Americans. We must replace it with a tax system that is simple, honest, transparent, and fair.

We want churches who preach political messages to have to pay taxes. (Any churches - not just Catholics). They should NOT be tax exempt. We also want to suspend any and all tax monies directed to Catholic Charities when they only want to cause trouble and sue our government over something that was supposedly settled. WE THE PEOPLE are tired of it. If the Catholic Church insists on doing this, we don't need to send them money! EVER!

Romney's proposed budget cuts total spending 20% of GDP by 2016, including Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), compensation and pensions for low-income and disabled Vets, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the poor aged and disabled. Also cuts non-defense discretionary spending $166B by 2016 including: aid to Public Education, Vets healthcare, Law enforcement, National parks, Environmental protection, and biomedical and scientific research. (Source: Romney's Proposed Budget and Congressional Budget Office estimates) These cuts can only cause austerity at a time when all of us are hurting financially. Austerity DOES NOT work in times of economic crisis as evidenced by the Greek meltdown. By signing this petition, you denounce Romney's economic agenda which favors the wealthy. Please do so ASAP before the primaries in your states. The Florida primary is on August 14 and urge Floridians to sign this petition before then.

The Government has taken money from people for Federal Taxes forever, however, they have never produced a written law. There is NO LAW, no allocation of the funds they collect, and we are penalized for not paying. It's time to stop the madness.
