The truth is out there but it has been overshadowed, as is no surprise, by propaganda, misdirection and simply ignoring that which will set us all free....
Fact:
1) Since the early 1970's, real wages for the Middle Class and the Poor, wages have remained stagnant or have declined.
2) In 2008 the homes and earned retirement vehicles of the 99% realized a 40% decline in value.
3) During the same time period, however, earnings for the top of those that reside at the pinnacle of the economy has
increased at unprecedented levels with reductions in Capital Gains Taxes from 70% to 15%, as just one of many, many
possible examples of ongoing theft by 1% Inc. LLC.
Yet, we the populace, by demanding answers and equitable solutions we are labelled socialists. The criminals that are responsible the losses insist we, the tax payers, must pay their bills. Corporations, co-opted governmental officials and the media continue to demand "shared sacrifice" in resolving the follies and greed of the 1%.
However, as usual, not having benefited from the transgressions of the 1% and their "on retainer" support (politicians and the media) the 99% must endure the forfeiture of their meager resources, which has been depleted to near zero so many times already by 1%, Inc. LLC.
Funny, each and every time the 99% seems to turn a corner to improve their lot in life through, education or financial security, maybe a home, 1% Inc. LLC. demonstrate their form one sided form of socialism. By extracting all the money they possibly can, they add to their enormous wealth, which is beyond the possibility to be spend let alone "trickle down". As a final insult though, they, 1% Inc. LLC continue do so blatantly and without remorse.
How many have died, been poisoned or marginalized for a single dollar? The numbers cannot be calculated precisely but the are astronomical and they grow daily. We, as collateral damage 1% Inc. LLC would insist when asked and nothing more. The 99% never have been and never will be worthy
But, herein lies the rub... No one is asking. Not really.
I have yet to hear one single national public debate focus on the impact, justification of and solution to the unconscionable and more importantly the unconstitutional socialization of financial loss and the privatization of profits, the most important truth facing us as a nation.
Be that as it may though, there remains one final, inescapable nail in the coffin of the 99% that makes recent events seem like a walk in the park and that is the 1 plus quadrillion dollar secret black market debt created 1% Inc. LLC.
Occupy America.... while it is still America.
