There are millions of Americans who are suffering today -- people in poverty, over a million homeless and most don't know where their next meal is coming from. This includes many, many children, who go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from. And those are the ones who have a bed to go to.

There is a solution for this, and that is for the wealthiest people in this country to start paying more taxes. They can afford it; they are multi-millionaires and billionaires who will never have to want for anything. Tax the richest 10% at 50%, and the richest 1% at 75%. They would hardly notice it. Of course, they may not be able to buy that second yacht they've been wanting, or their seventh mansion -- but what's more important, having yet another mansion or having a roof over the head of every man, woman and child, and three meals a day for every family? Paying taxes is patriotic. The rich need to start being more patriotic.

This goes for corporations, too. Companies like Wal-mart, Target, McDonald's, etc. need to start paying their employees a living wage. I work for Wal-mart, and have been for six years now. I get a raise every year but still make below $10 an hour. While Rob Walton, Lee Scott, Mike Duke, et al, make billions. Yet many of their employees struggle to make ends meet.

Jesus Christ told the rich to sell their possessions and give to the poor. Many Christians talk about Jesus coming back and setting up his earthly kingdom, well if that's true then he will rule as a socialist.

First of all, tax the richest 1% at 50%. The richest 01% at 75%.

Get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan. That would save us trillions.

Medicare for all. There is no reason why every man, woman, and child in America should not have health care.

Affordable housing for everyone. Low income housing for the homeless and poor.

Expand the food stamp program. There should be no one in America going to bed hungry.

Get rid of NAFTA and CAFTA. Reward companies that hire within the US; Punish companies that outsource overseas.

Pass the Employee Free Choice Act. Give more power to the workers, not the corporations. Corporations should not be people.

Raise the minimum wage to $10.00/hour.

These are just a few of the things that need to be done to put America on the right track.. will they be done, I highly doubt it, at least not in my lifetime, but I can dream can't I?

I would tell them to kiss it. I've donated to Democratic/progressive causes in the past, and will continue to do so. If they knew what causes I was donating to, what's the worst they could do? Fire me? Let 'em do it. I'm not going to be their slave. I work hard for what little money I get, and I'm not going to let any corporation tell me how to spend it. Eff the corporations. I'm a proud progressive Democrat who donates to Democratic causes and candidates. If it ever costs me my job, then so be it -- at least I am standing up for what I know is right.
