HR 5353: "The War Is Making You Poor Act"
Sponsored by Rep Alan Grayson & Co-Sponsored by Rep Ron Paul:
"The War Is Making You Poor Act" HR 5353
The bill calls for no taxes on the first $35,000 of income for every individual in the United States, and pays for it, by merely requiring the U.S. to stick to it's "base" military budget...
Bravo!

H.R.5353 - War Is Making You Poor Act:
"To reduce the $159.3 billion from the discretionary overseas contingency operations funds in the President's fiscal year 2011 budget for operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (without preventing use of mandatory funds from the Department of Defense budget to execute the War on Terror), and amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide individuals a "War is Making You Poor" tax credit against the savings attributable to the overseas contingency operations reduction."

Get on the phone Monday morning and demand to speak to "a senior policy aid" about this bill, and take your country and your money back from the banksters & the military- industrial complex.
Tell you Congressman - he's either with us, or against us.
He's either with the people, or with the military-industrial complex & the bankers. And this bill forces him to declare publicly, which side he's on.
And the beauty is - it's paid for - no new spending.
This bill forces Congress to expose itself.
The Stimulus Bill wasn't a jobs bill, and it didn't stimulate the economy. It was money laundering bill full of political payoffs and corporatist handouts.
The Bank Bailout didn't go to buying up bad mortgages like Hankster "the Gangster" Paulson promised, it went to buying US Treasuries, it went to high-frequency/front-running trading, and it went to pay near-record bonuses to the banksters...
What we got, was a $1.5 trillion cut to consumer and small business credit lines, rates hiked on our credit cards, and billions in new junk fees.
This bill calls their hand.
If you're looking for a proof that our government is literally a continuing criminal enterprise - if they don't pass this bill, you got your proof.
They're either with us - or they're against us.
