Deficit Remedy: Stop the Wars & Tax the Rich!
Deficit Remedy:
The War Elephant in the living room that no one wants to talk about:
Stop All The Wars!
Unprecedented war spending, and interest on the national debt related to war is a major cause of the U.S. deficit. Stop the wars –in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, etc.; dismantle 1000 overseas military bases, rein in the CIA and the military budgets; close all the tax loopholes; roll back tax breaks given to corporations and the tax cuts for the super rich — upper two percent.
What do you think the following profitable corporations paid in actual total federal income taxes in 2008-2010: American Electric Power, Boeing, Dupont, Exxon Mobil, FedEx, General Electric, Honeywell, International, IBM, United Technologies, Verizon Communications, Wells Fargo, and Yahoo? Nothing! Source: Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ)
Social security is independently funded. It did not create the deficit problem. Preserve social security, Medicare and Medicaid, provide a public option in health care for all.
Tax the Corporations & the Super Rich!
Don’t be Bamboozled by Corporate Propaganda!
