Last week, virtually every Senate Republican voted against that tax cut. Now, I know many Republicans have sworn an oath never to raise taxes as long as they live. How could it be that the only time there’s a catch is when it comes to raising taxes on middle-class families? How can you fight tooth and nail to protect high-end tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, and yet barely lift a finger to prevent taxes going up for 160 million Americans who really need the help? It doesn’t make sense.

FIRST ‘OFFICIAL’ STATEMENT FROM THE OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENT
A good read. With luck, equal treatment of all citizens, regardless of race, wealth, social status or sexual orientation.
With luck, the long-dead American dream can be revived.
we’ve already had 20,000 people occupying the tory party conference in manchester today. i hope the movement continues to spread globally.
we’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it any more!
