inequity

In 1988, the top 1% of population economically,
    took/received 12% of the nation's income
    and controlled 33% of the nation's wealth
Today, the top 1% of the population economically,
    take/receive nearly 25% of the nation's income
    and control 40% of the nation's wealth.

It is heading in the wrong direction for a democracy
    of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE-
    ALL of us... don't you think?

Our nation's population is 317,267,000 today.
3,172,670 people receive all that wealth and control all
    that wealth,

YET, rather than tax them what is fair for them to pay,

we are cutting Unemployment and Unemployment
    Insurance for 1,000,000 people who are struggling...
    at the insistence of Republicans in Congress

we are cutting food stamps to 48,000,000 people in the
    amount of $76.4 billion,
    at the insistence of Republicans in Congress.

What's wrong with this picture?

Of WHAT people, by WHAT people, for WHAT people?

It is time for peaceful, insistent revolution.
It is time that ALL the people be represented and thrive.
It is time for us to demand that and vote for it.
