Pic Of The Moment: What 30 Years Of "Trickle Down" Policies Have Produced

53. Just bitching among ourselves is not going to solve the problem.

We need to start imagining a strategy to enlighten the 99 percent, or at least a significant number of the 99 percent, to the reality of the economic and political situation.

For example, the 1 percent don't just decide to "create" jobs just because they get a new tax incentive. There first has to be a demand for a product, that is, companies first have to see a "demand" for a product or service before they do any hiring.

In fact, the greatest number of jobs created by the corporations due to tax decreases for the 1 percent have been in China and other low-wage countries.

Another propaganda theme by the 1 percent is that the stock market "drives" the economy. The reality is that the stock prices go up when companies reduce their number of employees whether after buy-outs or mergers, or by outsourcing.

And, don't bury the reality by displaying a bunch of meaningless graphs, charts, and tables. We are not trying to convince a bunch of economists or statisticians what the reality is.

So let's start thinking of how to counteract the propaganda and influence of the 1 percent.
