“If We must have a War of Choice then:

Let the WAR Profiteers who BENEFIT pay for their VENTURES!

Payment for this = Same ones benefitting from the OPERATION

At $500 per gallon for gas
$100 for a bag of laundry
$40 for a Cafeteria Breakfast, lunch or dinner
$1,000,000 per troop

A $Million School will cost $100 Million and come out of Americans' Pockets

So let the Industrial and Infrastructure companies and the R1CH pay for this!”

“G0D TOLD ME TO POST THIS! HE SAID THE BONUSES AND MASSIVE INCOMES MUST BE STOPPED!

STOP INCOME IMBALANCES IN ONE SIMPLE MOVE by RETURNING TO OUR HISTORIC ROOTS:

FDR did it after the Great Depression and it lasted for 50 years from 1932 to 1982!

For 50 years Pre-Reagan the Top Tax Rates varied from 63% to 94% on all income over $400,000!

In 1981 the Top Tax Rate was 70% on all personal income over $212,000.

PROPOSE: 2009 Top Tax Rate of 70% to personal incomes over $550,000 - Inflation adjusted from 1981!

Believe me the $100 Million Bonuses would stop immediately when 70% to 94% of them goes into Helping America Rebuild its Balance Sheet! $70 Million to $94 Million goes to Reducing Deficit and $6 to $30 Million goes to the GREED-MIESTERS!

Here is a chart on historical tax rates

http://pol.moveon.org/budget10/chart/?id

History shows that $550,000 would be the Top Tax Starting Point using 1982 level +Inflation!

History of Top Tax Rate: Return to those DAYS when the R1CH were Harvested instead of the P00R!

“REPAIR DISTORTED TAX SYSTEM AND USE RESULTING REVENUE TO PAY FOR WAR AND BUILD NEW MANUFACTURING!

Distorted TAX system - Go Back to OUR 50 year Tradition

From 1932 to 1982 the TOP TAX Rate was 63% to 94% on incomes over $550,000 (adjusted for 2009)!

Note: 1981 Top Tax Rate was 70% on income over $212,000!

Apply to Rate to Hedge Fundsters' $Billion Incomes = NO MORE Capital Gains TAX!

“Don't know where you got your numbers from but my rate in 1982 was 45% on 15k income just before Reagan tax cuts. I kept the return to remind myself to never vote for a democrat again.”

“WHAT HAS THE FED Reserve (19l3) Done for AMERICA by setting Interest Rates and Regulating Banks?

FED has worked to DRIVE AMERICA from

# 1 Creditor Nation in 1916 to
# 1 Debtor Nation in 2009

It has worked to REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH UP TO THE EXTRAVAGANTLY WEALTHY and Make the Average American LOSE WEALTH!

Causing the WORST IMBALANCE OF INCOMES IN US HISTORY!

We need to wrestle control back to OUR Government of Our Monetary Policy!

It is OUTRAGEOUS that the BIG BANK OWNED FED Reserve System runs our Monetary Policy for the Convenience and PROFITS of the Biggest Banks!

Simply make the FED Reserve an Agency within Government with OVERSIGHT by Government Accounting Office!

We must Democratize the FED!

The FED is now run to create Bubbles and Busts.

Bubbles = pull in the "SUCKERS" at High PRICES!
BUSTS = Harvest "SUCKERS" at LOW PRICES!
BAILOUTS = Harvest "ALL AMERICANS as SUCKERS" for GREEDY BANKSTERS”

“Government is CHEAP to BUY for the Wall Street Banks+ Swiss +German+ London Banks!

It is less than a "00.001%" investment for them! A mire $5 Billion Total - CBS Reports!

And they already OWN the 12 Fed Reserve Regional Banks!

Remember the BIG BANKS own over 66% of the FED Reserve System!

TRACK THE MONEY - Wall Street Caused the ENTIRE CRISIS and the BAILOUTS and RUNS THE GOVERNMENT

1. Corporations have excess ill-Gotten L00T to spend!
2. Congress needs L00T for Reelection Campaigns!
3. Corporations Buy FAV0RS and V0TES from Congress and the Corruption Spreads
4. Corporations Control Government causing an Oligarchy of the EL1TES!
5. M0NEY ALL FL0WS from Corporations to the Government - the SOURCE of BAD G0vernment!

If Wall Street is NOT FULLY REGULATED then Europeans and Asians will avoid Wall Street completely, plus many Americans will move to and invest in foreign markets (NOT US-based foreign products) that are better controlled by their respective countries!

If you TRACK the L00T it tells the story that BAD Government comes from ONE SOURCE: Wall Street & Corporations buying INFLUENCE in Congress and the Wh!te H0USE!

Bad Government is when Government is RUN by BANKSTERS!”

Problem 2: Would a rule to reduce cloture vote numbers need to pass cloture?

Grayson is right. How about eliminating the dual track for bills started by Robert Byrd? That's what's allowing all these games to be played. It used to be that a filibuster stopped all Senate business in it tracks. Now they just shift to another bill.”
