Where are money goes?
See Big Chart Below
More and more the Republicans and Democrats are centralizing government into the hands of the few. Today in the newspaper I read how State Senators are proposing a bill that would put Milwaukee County mental programs into the hands of a committee appointed by our Governor. This is the same Governor who when coming to office lower taxes for everyone except the poor, for which he raised taxes. This is the same Governor who just cut thousands of low income persons from the State health care plan. This is the same Governor who has raised millions from outside of the State super rich persons, part of the 1% who controls 46% of our wealth.
The recent Federal budget compromises between congressional supported by conservative Republicans and Liberal Democrats gives 56.7% of all discretionary Federal spending to the military. (See chart on side and below). These are the same congressional persons who raise the most money from the rich and thus are elected 95% of the time.
Republican and Democratic Presidents are more and more using “executive orders” to get things done.
In the USA the people and lobby organizations who give the most money to politicians get the most money from the politicians who are elected with their money.
Politicians and Democrats talk about the ‘middle class’, a rapidly disappearing class of people has the gap between the very rich and poor widens.
The Supreme Count of the USA has ruled that corporations are persons and money is free speech, so it must be so!
More money means more power which means more money. Our military budget goes up and up while our people budget goes down and down.
Republicans talk against “big government” but create it by controlling more and more from the top down. Democrats talks about government of the people while taking away more and more government by the people. The 1% and “Big Money” rule. All the petitions, votes, phone calls in the world cannot bring big money down. What can we do to bring “big money down”?
