We Need a Leader

Not a TV Actor.
We need someone who knows what leadership is.
We need a leader who will stand up to these greedy billionaires
and tell them 'NO! You've had 45 years of TAX Breaks
it time to make your contribution to this country for using
the public's roads, water, electricity, and air
for free for forty-five years.'

1. Bernie has been making these points for years, but admits he's "too old" to run.

I give Bernie and AOC lots of credit for attacking this root problem all over the country, even in red states and districts.

Others are reluctant to deliver this crucial message.

I post most of his emails that I get in “The Way Forward” .




The message is popular with everyone but politicians who are well taken care of by billionaires, which is damn near all of them.

2. Biden: NO to tax breaks for corporations, very wealthy, 1%, billionaires: pay your fair share of taxes.

This is Democratic policy. There were NO Democratic votes for Trump tax breaks. Leaders are here. Voting for Democrats is leadership. The candidates for president in the next election will continue their policies.

Nobody should believe the both sides BS that Democrats ignore economic equality, ignore the working class, are corrupted by oligarch billionaire money or whatever the buzzwords are. It's a lie.

They've Been Using OUR Public Resources Practically For FREE
Without Contributing to OUR Nation to Pay For Them!

We pay their taxes. Taxes are a contribution to keep this nation going.
