"In America, you get food to eat Won't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet You just sing about Jesus, drink wine all day It's great to be an American" - Randy Newman, Sail Away. But, we don't all pay the same taxes. What if we did and the limit to taxation, including all value added, state, local, city, and federal taxes were 20% of our adjusted gross income? The wealthy would pay more, the poor would pay more, and there would be more equity. Singles under $20,000 AGI and Couples under $ 40,000 AGI, no tax, from anywhere.. (except VAT). Wouldn't that make America equitable? Even Corporations could do this and the Treasury would bulge. You are welcome to analyze it. It is incredibly fair and make's the other sides plans look like plans of fools. We must become a fair country again. Taxing fairly will make us strong!

On December 31. 2011, President Obama signed the "National Defense Authorization Act For Fiscal Year 2012" (i.e. NDAA).

A democratic government is a reflection of the collective public will. In the US, one of the main factors keeping us from this ideal is the untoward influence of corporations and other non-citizen entities. We don't have to wait for our government to pass campaign finance reform- we can wield our collective power in this presidential election in 2012. Sign and share to take back our democracy.

Student Loan Forgiveness for American Citizens, especially service workers, nurses, teachers, law enforcement , first responders(emt, firefighters),and physicians.The United States should forgive the student loans because by eliminating the debt, the graduates would be able to stimulate the economy in other ways by increasing spending having a positive effect on industry.

Petition Summary: California currently has 1.9 million seniors and persons with disabilities who are enrolled in California’s Medicaid program (Medi-Cal). The majority of Seniors and People with Disabilities, are eligible for Medi-Cal and Medicare. The State of California has determined that the current financial and program structure for delivering health care Long Term Service and Support LTSS, that includes Home Community Based Services --- In Home Supportive Services to SPDs is fragmented. To address these issues, Governor Jerry Brown proposes as part of California’s 2012-13 budget, the (Managed) Care Coordination Initiative to integrate health care LTSS, Home Community Based Services --- In Home Supportive Services into Managed Care for all SPD’s who are dual eligible statewide beginning in January 2013. Managed Care in California has been an unsuccessful health policy, as it has contributed to higher health care costs of about 25-33% higher over current state spending. Managed Care will undermine patients' access to health care by: restricting patients' choice and access to physicians’ treatment and medication. Under Managed Care SPD’s may lose or receive inadequate home care services and hours. Finally they will no longer have the right to hire train set work schedules or fire their personal care attendance.
