THOUGHTS FROM @InFamous_cHaOs (on Twitter)

InFamous cHaOs

This could have been said today... http://bit.ly/kW1V69 FDR’s speech, October 31, 1936 via @tqnews Blog: “Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it” said by Winston Churchill. That speech by Franklin D Roosevelt also echoes through time and deserves to be heard in this longer form by a new generation of ears. In the hope that we do not lose what we have fought so hard for in our past...

The big lie of "Trickle Down" economics and deregulation is nothing new. Over the last 30 years since the first term of Ronald Reagan we have slowly but surely lost the tax revenue generated by the wealthiest among us and been plunged deeper and deeper into debt by those who now refuse to raise the debt limit and end the last big give away of our tax revenue to the wealthy called the Bush tax cuts. (The Bush tax cuts explained http://exm.nr/jBsBLP )

Only fifty years ago, corporate taxes were 30% of all federal revenue. Now, that number has dropped to just 6.6% of federal revenue. http://t.co/2aWbRm3 via @mashable The large corporations and wealthy were kept out of power in Washington after the Depression by a strongly supported Democratic party. That ended with Ronald Reagan and the big lie of "Trickle Down" economics.

Trickle Down economics does not work and the American worker has been trickled on far too long. This “Great Switch” by the Super Rich http://t.co/x8suGSx last culminated in the Bush Tax cuts and should be ended along with the huge loopholes that allows the Big Corporations to pay little to nothing in taxes. A great deal if not all of the debt our nation now faces would be eliminated.

Corporations have no sense of social responsibility and worship only one God... the God of "greed is good" and increasing profits. If they had a sense of social responsibility would the profit margins of Big Oil look like this Graph, it just goes to show Big Oil for who they are. As American Families Suffer Pain At The Pump, Big Oil Rakes In Record Profits If the Big Oil companies had a sense of social responsibility wouldn't their profits in time of huge price increases remain rather static? Why gouge society and us even more by taking increased profits?

They might tell you they need to invest in alternatives. Another big lie... http://bit.ly/ikeVki these are net profits handed out to shareholders not their tax write offs for research and development. Speaking of taxes or frequently NO taxes paid by big corps and the wealthy.

The GOP will tell you "Bush tax cuts create jobs!" that’s a lie 80% of all new income went to the richest 1% of Americans. http://ow.ly/1c06hO Check out Warren Buffet And Bill Gates On Why The Wealthy Need To Pay More Taxes: http://j.mp/jKQGYx

While health Insurers are making "Record Profits" http://nyti.ms/jLH8BV the Republicans want to give you vouchers instead of Medicare. Here is America's Broken Health Care System in One Chart http://bit.ly/k5bRDo via @moveon. Then there are the Wall Street Bankers and Mortgage Firms Defrauding Taxpayers" http://huff.to/lU7rYD that are guess what, “too big to prosecute”. http://bit.ly/h4u6ke.

And guess what, now Republicans want us to give them, these same Wall St. banks, control of your Social Security. That’s totally insane. Republicans have won control of Congress under false pretenses and are misusing their power to promote corporate interests over public interests. http://exm.nr/jcEmPt Don't even get me started on the other minority Reagan co-opted into the Republican party to create this 30 year de-evolution of the middle class. One Republican called it "right wing social engineering".

But as soon as the #GOP finishes redefining rape, dismantling unions, telling you what to do with your uterus, disenfranchising voters and selling off our countries assets, like a hostile take over on Wall Street. Maybe they can redefine what they meant by "jobs." @woodstock4028 says it best in his profile "Boehner, where are the Damn Jobs?? If everyone bought you a fifth of Crown would you find some jobs?" Earth to Washington: Listen to America or lose your job it's that simple...

It's pretty accurate.
