Thomas Paine's version of "you didn't build that":
"Separate an individual from society,and give him an island or a continent to possess,and he cannot acquire personal property. He cannot be rich. So inseparably are the means connected with the end,in all cases,that where the former do not exist the latter cannot be obtained. All accumulation, therefore,of personal property,beyond what a man's own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes on every principle of justice,of gratitude,and of civilization,a part of that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came"

FAX ACTION PAGE:
Any Health Care Reform That Isn’t Medicare For All Is Just A Fraud On The American People

A new video every week. Check back!
It’s now official, the health care bills Congress is trying to pass stink to high heaven. Today John Conyers said that “progressives held their nose” in voting for it. We didn’t send them to Washington to hold their noses, we sent them there to get out there fight for good public policy. And they’d better start listening. But first we need to speak out in greater numbers.
And the Senate is working on something even worse, a bill that is even weaker than the one from the House, that won’t even really kick in for 5 YEARS, like they think they can sneak through a couple more elections before we notice the stench. It’s just a replay of the phony credit card reform bill, only with 5 times as long for the medical insurance companies to keep gouging us before the big nothing takes effect.
