I saw the list of demands uploaded to Congress from this site, and this is a great start. A few more things...
(1) Make no tax breaks for corporations that hire foreign workers and do not hire American workers. Essentially, force corporations to employ more Americans here in the United States;
(2) For all of us who have student loans, and are in public employment, forgive us. Or for all of us student loan bearing plebes, let us claim the student loan in bankruptcy court. The student loan is not dismissed in most cases and we are slaves to a non-negotiation with the lender;
(3) Separate the banks - traditional lending from investment banking. This should not be a one-stop-shop;
(4) Force the banks to let go of their money - they are essentially not lending to small business and stopping business consolidations. They are stifling the economy;
(5) Stop the spending on the industrial military complex. A war a la FDR got us out of a depression, but these wars (and we have no business being overseas unless attacked) are draining the American economy;
(6) A public option for healthcare.
Thank you.
yeah, i have no prob paying back my student loans- it is only fair. that is what a loan is.....but the way things are set up- it's oppressive. we not sayin free education (although when i was in UK and heard that they got school for free and damn neared hit my head against the wall in anguish...) but no, i will pay back, but lets get grip on this....no more oppressive college loan payments....
