Forum Post: Facts Worth Occupying For:

•$1.6 trillion of the Big Bank’s money is in the Federal Reserve which the government is paying them $40 billion dollar a year interest NOT to loan to you and me. •Approximately 15 million families are in homes that are worth less than what the owe. •Approximately 50 million people can’t get healthcare when they are sick. And now face a bill from Obama that will make it against the law to not have healthcare. •The reported unemployment rate is 9.1%. How many of you think this is accurate? •Approximately 24 million people can’t get full time work that will support them and their families, most of which have to depend on the government just to eat •Wall Street owns the Republican party, the Democratic party caters to them, and the Obama White House’s financial advisors are all Wall Street former members, some of whom received Bush bailout money. •40% of the U.S. Senate are millionaires. 56% of the House are millionaires. This is why they refuse to tax the rich. Because they are the rich. •Insider trading, which is illegal in the United States (just ask Martha Stewart) is perfectly legal for Congress, which is how they make the majority of their money. •1% of the country has more money than 99% of the country combined. This 1% runs the banks which have engaged in predatory lending. This 1% made money on the housing bubble that burst, leaving a good portion of America homeless or in homes that are worth less than they are worth or facing foreclosure and ruined credit. This 1% made money on the corporate and bank bailouts. This 1% who pay less in taxes than the poorest of the poor so that they can “create jobs”. This 1% who have not been creating new jobs. In actuality, less jobs were created after these tax cuts were enabled by Bush. In the month of August alone there were no new jobs created at all. Most of the 1% are moving their companies and their assets to other countries to make more money.

Do you need to see more to be motivated? Because there is more out there. It is time to get mobilized and educated as to what we want, when we want it, and how we are going to get it or we will never be recognized as anything other than foolish!
