RANT OF THE DAY: TO MSNBC, love US Uncut MN

We, the real 99% of people, versus the 0.01% who rule this country.  THEY have stolen not only our money but our civil rights. It grows worse by the day, as any self-respecting politician running for office who cares about social justice cannot get the money TO run OR they find that the right wing money (esp. via the K-K-K-Kochs and K-K-K-Karl Rove) moves in to revile them.

WE HAVE LOST TOO MUCH - hopes, dreams, rights, the social safety net is unravelled.   In the street, we are all EQUAL and there is no "glass ceiling."

Why doesn't MSNBC talk about the People's Assembly?  Why doesn't it mention how many states are organizing support occupations?  OccupyMN, OccupyLA, occupyChicago, OccupySF, etc. Why doesn't it mention how much caring social media is at work?  Why can't it realize that it is a multifaceted story with legs?  I'll tell you something - our local Fox News outlet does better reporting than MSNBC, by a loooong shot, too.

I do a paper.li paper on US Days of Rage Minnesota Daily.  Folks, take a look at it. Watch the videos that are posted.  Read the articles.  Decide which is more Important - People or Profit$?  Fooling one's self that oppy is just around the corner OR sticking up for yourself and your loved ones?

We are all sick of Grover Norquist, the American Legislative Exchange Council (Kochs, too), graft, corruption, #austerity, high co$t$ of higher education, fear mongering, endless war$, escalating poverty, privatization of prisons/executions, bailouts, sociali$m for the rich, voter fraud, gutting of the EPA, consumerISM, rampant individualISM and "optimism", voodoo economics, xenophobia/ Islamaphobia, WAR CRIMES, torture, campaign RHETORIC,  tax loopholes, offshoring, corporations holding trillions of dollar$ in asset$ as a liquidity hedge, hedge fund$, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Chamber of Commerce, the Supreme Court 5, Tim Greithner, the hahaha Super committee which is a junta of 13, laws against umbrellas and masks in NYC, Big Pharma, GMO frankenfood, hydrofracking, the teabagger stoopidity, Citizens United, imperialISM, racISM, sexISM, homophobiak, child abuse and BAD JOURNALISM - a bought off media.  The three legs of FASCISM;  military, money, MEDIA.
What did happened to Cenk anyway?  We hate insiders in the Beltway, btw.  We LOVE Cenk who exposes Wall Street CRIME and CRIMINALS.

There's more to come . You can bet on it. As in Tunisia, Egypt and other places - Revolution 2.0 will be tweeted, "liked" and shared.  We will win.

We're Lucky to Have Gov. Mark Dayton

This letter writer says the 2 percent of Minnesota income earners should be taxed more.

June 28, 2011

To the Editor:

One of my Grandmothers lived in a rental home until the end of her life. She always had a very tight budget. My other Grandmother utilized a home health aide. This helped her stay in the home she loved longer than she would have been able to.

Under the current Republican “all-cuts” budget, supported by our State Senator Al DeKruif and Rep. Kelby Woodard, both of my Grandmothers would have been hurt.

For the Grandmother who rented, their budget would have ended the renter’s credit for her. This would have left her less money for food, medications, and other necessities.

For the Grandmother getting assistance from a home health aid, their budget would have cut money from that program which would have left her with no option but to move in to a nursing home. Ultimately this would cost the State a lot more money.

My Grandmothers are examples of the real people the Republican’s “all-cuts” budget would hurt. Real people that would include 85,000 seniors and disabled persons who would lose their renter’s tax credit, and 5,800 seniors and disabled persons who would lose community/home based services. Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Senior Citizens, and others who have worked hard all their lives being told that they must give up programs on which they depend.

It saddens me that our local representatives have chosen to protect the wealthiest 2% of Minnesotans from sharing the burden of our State’s budget deficit at the expense of these individuals.

Governor Dayton was right to veto their budget. We’re lucky to have a Governor fighting for our seniors and the middle class.

Sincerely,
Shawn Groth
