They are the 1% - They are young, they are dirty, they are immoral.

The following article is a must read - it was brought to my attention by the MN Uncut newspaper.

The interesting thing about this article is that it stresses just how immoral the 1% and banksters are, BUT it brings to our attention that the immoral 1%-ers aren't just old banksters.

They are young
and in this case they are dirty
and in this case - they should be ashamed, but they aren't - which is the saddest part.

The 89 employees of a New York law firm specializing in foreclosures who dressed as homeless people during an office Halloween party last year have been thrown out on the street.

Steven J. Baum P.C., a firm that specialized in foreclosures, is closing its doors a month after photos showing employees celebrating Halloween by dressing like the homeless surfaced in a New York Times column by Joe Nocera

As you look at the slideshow (there are 6 slides, I had to manually choose them with the boxes above the first slide)  - know that this is the 1% now (young and dirty)  and forevermore.

Their IVY league educations, their 1% bosses and their fancy homes on Long Island forget to teach them the difference between right and wrong, good and evil - moral and immoral.

This is wrong.
This is evil.
This is immoral.

These are your young 1%-ers.

- I hope all of them are unemployed for a long long time.

Norquist Blames VOTERS for Stalemate in Congress!

Voting has consequences.

If you voted for a person that signed his “No New Taxes” Pledge

– YOU are to blame for the stalemate in congress.

Grover Norquist holds YOU responsible!

His pledge is not responsible – YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE if you voted for and elected people who signed the “No New Taxes Pledge”

YOU ARE TO BLAME!

Here are excerpts from last night’s 60 Minutes interview with Grover Norquist – I suggest you read the transcript or watch the entire video.

Kroft: But you're the keeper of the pledge.

Norquist: We remind your voters that you took the pledge.

Kroft: You are the ones that are--

Norquist: That's true.

Kroft: --gonna retaliate if they break the pledge.

Norquist: Oh, no, no, no. The voters will retaliate. We may inform the voters. But let's say the voters all want --

Kroft: Inform the voters with hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign or educational -

Norquist: Nineteen--

Kroft:--expenditures to point out the fact that they broke the pledge.

Norquist: If necessary.

Kroft: But you make it pretty clear. If someone breaks the pledge, you're gonna do everything you can to get rid of them.

Norquist: To educate the voters that they raise taxes. And again, we educate people--

Kroft: To get rid of them.

Norquist: To encourage them to go into another line of work, like shoplifting or bank robbing, where they have to do their own stealing.

Kroft: You've got them by the shorthairs.

Norquist: The voters do. Yeah.

-dot-dot-dot

Simpson: He may well be the most powerful man in America today. So if that's what he wants, he's got it. You know, he's -- megalomaniac, ego maniac, whatever you want to call him. If that's his goal, he's damn near there. He ought to run for president because that will be his platform: 'No taxes, under any situation, even if your country goes to hell.'

Simpson also wants to know where Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform, with its multimillion dollar budget gets its money.

Simpson: When you get this powerful, and he is, then it's, 'Where do you get your scratch, Grover?' Is it two people? Is it 10 million people? The American people demand to know where you get your money, Grover babe.

-dot-dot-dot

Kroft: I mean, you've got them coming and you've got them going if they're a Republican. If they sign the pledge and break it they're toast. And if they don't sign the pledge they're probably toast.

Norquist: But if they sign it and keep it, they win the primary. They win the general. They get to govern. And, I've helped make all this possible.

If you voted for a person that signed his “No New Taxes” Pledge

 – YOU are to blame for the stalemate in congress.

Hear that ??
– Grover Norquist says: YOU ARE TO BLAME! For the stalemate in Congress!

Voting has consequences.



Here's a complete list of the 112th Congress politicans who have signed the Grover Norquist "No New Taxes Pledge"
- a pledge to a private organization that nullifies their pledge to uphold the Consitution.

Here's a list of all state legislators (as of 2010) who have signed the Grover Norquist "No New Taxes Pledge".

Voting has consequences!
Signing PLEDGES has consequences!
    - a "No New Taxes" legislator - state or federal level
    - who says they are changing their mind now -
is probably lying to you.

                          AND it's too late - butthead

                          - the damage caused by you signing Norquist's pledge

                          is already done!

Kick their a$$ out of office
and elect someone smart enough to NOT SIGN PLEDGES!

North Carolina - Your ALEC Members are NOT Virtuous!

North Carolina

When it comes to the North Carolina state Motto and ALEC member the following definitely is true.

"The Numbers of the really virtuous are not so great, as they appear to be."

Each person on the list has been compiled and cited using the web and you can also find the proof by researching through ALEC documents, reports and magazines, the North Carolina manual and campaign finance pages, and various other webpages.

More North Carolina  legislators can be found at ALEC Exposed– because they access to leaked documents that I don’t have.  Since I don’t have these documents on file – I won’t list those people in my blog.

AND if your legislator is not on either list – contact them and ask them, “Are you a member of ALEC?  There’s quite a few people on this ALEC list – I’d ask if I were you.

So what – what if people had a list – what does that accomplish? 

What would happen if people had a list - what will it accomplish? 

Does it really hurt ALEC if a list were available or would ALEC just go on – business as usual?

How would this information be used in a constructive way?

What is next – we HAVE TO REMOVE all ALEC members from state and federal government.  It is our role to make sure that they don’t get re-elected.  Now is the time for “boots to the ground” to use the information we have compiled on ALEC members and ALEC “model legislation” to prove to others that ALEC members MUST be removed from public service at any and all levels. 

ALEC just completed their four day conference where ALEC Corporations told your legislators what legislation they wanted to have passed and what legislation they did not want to have passed.

ALEC members are not serving the public – they are serving the ALEC corporations.  It does not matter how ALEC or their members spin this story over the next couple months it is important for you – to remember and to talk about the following fact:

When was the last time YOU got to sit with your legislator for two or three days and tell your legislator what YOUR needs are and help your legislator write legislation that benefited YOU?

Your ALEC legislator does this multiple times a year with corporations – so when push come to shove – it is evident who your legislator is representing – the ALEC corporations.

Past members are important – because they may come up for a state or federal appointment.

Campaign reports – report campaigns – so someone may be on the list that did not win  - but you can bet your boots they will try again.

ALEC members and those affiliated with ALEC in any manner

MUST NOT BE RE-ELECTED.

Without state and federal legislators ALEC will cease to exist and it will implode.

Maintain the "Move Your Money" Campaign

Don't think because you missed November 5th that you shouldn't move your money.

Here is an excellent diary at Daily Kos that will remind you that every dollar you put into a credit union or a local bank - goes back to the community and not the the Wall Street Banksters.


IN ADDITION -
Please SHOP LOCALLY for the holiday season
- give ALEC members like- Walmart,, Walgreens, Amazon
and all the others the Big Heave Ho Ho Ho for the holidays.

#Occupy

The "Move Your Money" project is big... and it will hurt Wall Street vastly more than most people realize. This is because for every $1 moved out of the Wall Street banks, $20 is moved out of the Wall Street casino.

Wait... what??? It's true. You think your $1,000 savings account is too small to matter? Think again. Say you move your $1,000 out of a Wall Street bank, and into a local bank or credit union. You're immediately injecting $1,000 of capital into your local economy,

Republicans to Obama - Please Step In

the Super Committee needs you......................

From The Hill this morning:

Republicans are calling for President Obama to jump into the deficit-reduction talks gripping Washington, reflecting the widespread view that the congressional supercommittee is now headed for a failure.

“Unless the leadership, including the president, steps in and saves this thing, I think the consensus is, in terms of coming up with a credible package, all is lost,” Coats added.

I'm not surprised the Republicans are asking for him.

Yeh - so he can come in and fold - again (he calls it compromise)
- give the Republicans everything they want - again.

It's not a misstep that the Republicans are specifically asking for Obama.
They know he will treat them well.
