The world financial wealth is $95.5 trillion. This is the cash that keeps the capitalist system running now, what happens when there is 8 percent or $7.6 trillion missing? This is money, which is not circulating in the system, such as wages paid or being spent on durable goods that would need to replaced eventually, stoves, or washers and dryers. It is just a loss to all except the hoarders of the $7.6 trillion.
To make matters worse, there is also $190 billion lost in taxes worldwide, $35 billion just in the U.S. and this is money that has to be made whole by the 47 percent. Once again, cash taken out of the capitalist system in ways like pay for our federal, state, county and city government workers, law enforcement, firefighters, infrastructure, schools, colleges, and renewable energy exploration. All would make for good jobs we need, but with no cash no jobs can be created. Our taxes are making up for what these thieves are hiding in other countries. Their excuse is that it’s not illegal, and they’re right. It may not be illegal, but it is immoral, unpatriotic and a sign of mental illness.
This is going on all over the world and now we, the 99 percent, know about the theft by the oligarchies and how they are being exposed by the Panama Papers. We can turn something like this around during this election year by electing the right people.
Think Bernie Sanders for president, Tim Canova to replace Debbie Wasserman Schultz out of her Florida Congressional seat, support Occupy and don’t forget to continue to fight for $15 an hour minimum wage. We have to clean house of all Tea Party and uncooperative GOP members and Blue Dog Democrats so we can turn this country around. If Bernie gets elected, he’ll need people like Zephyr Teachout in New York, Pramila Jayapal in Seattle and Lucy Flores in Nevada. Don’t give up hope--VOTE.
We have an election in two months, where the hell are the building Trade Unions? Members and organizers should be touting their wages, benefits and seeking out new members and union shops. So far, I’m only hearing crickets. While the Trade Unions sit back, the UAW have been striking and winning big benefits for their members. Then there is the Teamsters, who have taken on the Holy Grail—Amazon, the corporation. Again, just crickets from the Trade Unions. Then there is the Minnesota State model—-we can win more together than we can on our own. So why are all unions not working together? Why are all unions not talking with each other? There are two months left until the election—an election that could conceivably be the death null of unions. If we lose this election to the GOP, Trump and Project 2025, our unions will be destroyed and we’ll be back to the days of trying to make ends meet as the GOP will cut our wages, benefits will be eliminated and there will be nothing we can do abou...
