Shared Sacrifice





“The rule of law does not do away with the unequal distribution of wealth and power, but reinforces that inequality with the authority of law. It allocates wealth and poverty in such calculated and indirect ways as to leave the victim bewildered.” Howard Zinn, Historian 1922 - 2010

 Recently, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont wrote an open letter to President Obama. He has asked us the American People to sign the letter with him. His letter points out the inequities of our tax and economic policies.
 I don't want to speak for him so I ask you to take a few minutes and read Sen. Sanders letter to the President.
 So far me, and one hundred and thirty four thousand people have signed the letter and I hope you will too.

  Also, recently Robert Reich has put together a great video explaining our situation and how we got here. I say it is a great video because he manages to explain things in just two minutes and fifteen seconds. It is obviously an overview or simplified explanation, but as such is quite succinct in conveying the message.
