“People like George Soros, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Paul Krugman, Joe Stiglitz, Jeffrey Sax, Dean Baker, Robert Poland, Larry Summers have said they all support a transaction tax.

The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States — Health, welfare, housing – all these things.

The bottom line is we’re not broke. There’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it.”

—Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN)

    " it’s just the government doesn’t have it."
    hasn't earned it, doesn't deserve it, and will NEVER get it.

    But the real issue is the source of the money, and the undeserved unearned centralized power it creates for the banksters and looters.

    Looters. Impale them on the white house lawn.

      They will destroy themselves. if you quit saving them. Health, welfare, housing are not rights. Rights do not require others give up something (i.e.money, time) in order for someone else to have something. Rights are not given by the government your born with them and the only thing required of other is to respect them.

    It has always been that the have-nots feel that the haves owe them and either take from you individuality or have the government do it for them Just like Phillip Rearden

    Respectfully,
    O.A.
