For Zoebe And Her Housemates.

“… while corporate profits have rebounded to their pre-recession heights, setting a record in the third quarter of 2011, corporate tax revenue has yet to follow suit…. Corporate tax revenue has plummeted for several reasons, but one of the big ones is the growth of deductions, loopholes, and...

Even more seriously.

I haven't even seen this movie yet, but these two just make me irrationally happy.

My kind of sleepover.

These are the Grover Norquist disciples who want to ‘drown government in the bathtub’ as Norquist, whose pledge they’ve all signed, famously said. Why? Because if they actually let government work, then people could have faith that government can work. In short, when your entire philosophy is that government is the problem, you make government the problem. Even conservative economists agree that unemployment benefits create jobs by allowing consumers to spend more money. Yet this conflicts with the Republicans’ predetermined ideology that no government action can help. Broad majorities agree that having millionaires pay their fair share in taxes would reduce our deficit, and allow us to invest in jobs. But apparently no amount of evidence can convince Republicans that our government can be part of the solution. The Republican philosophy goes something like this: If you take your car to the mechanic and instead of fixing it, they take out the engine and charge you an arm and a leg, you should conclude that mechanics can’t fix cars and you should probably just take yours to the junkyard and sell it for scrap metal. But the truth is; you probably just hired a bad mechanic.

Ain't it the truth...ain't it the truth?!

THOSE EYES!

Extremely encouraging and has the potential to be even more of a gamechanger. Rock on and OCCUPY THE HOOD!

Occupy The Hood is an autonomous national grassroots movement comprised of activists, organizers and community members working with like-minded individuals and organizations across the US. Occupy The Hood stands in solidarity with any progressive organization or movement who desires and works towards the liberation, benefit and improvement of the quality of life of disenfranchised People of Color.

From Occupation to Liberation, De-Colonize, Empower The Hood.

People of Color, and in particular Black, Brown and Native/Indigenous People, have been disproportionately affected by the issues that the Occupy Movement has recently raised. Unemployment rates double nationwide, disproportionate incarceration rates, wealth gap, subprime mortgages/foreclosures.

Occupy The Hood will work to address many critical issues affecting our communities:

un/under employment, poverty, mass incarceration, political prisoners, school to prison pipeline, police brutality, racial profiling, violence/murders/illegal guns, housing/foreclosures/homelessness/gentrification, health care disparities, educational disparities, food deserts, community development, reparations, economic development, entrepreneurship, gender-specific programs, youth programs, environmental justice, civic engagement, discrimination/racism

Occupy The Hood is officially active in the following Cities: NYC (NY), Detroit (MI), Pittsburgh (PA), Seattle (WA), Philadelphia (PA), Atlanta (GA), Boston (MA), Tacoma (WA), Dallas (TX), Nola (LA), Cincinnati (OH), Portland (OR), St. Louis (MO), Cleveland (OH), Washington (DC), Richmond (VA), Los Angeles (CA) and growing WE ARE THE MOST AFFECTED of the 99%

It has been said that: “Black People are on the bottom of every list that is good, and on the top of every list that is bad.” “When White America has a cold, Black America has pneumonia.”

Black Unemployment Almost double the national average and in many cities/states is triple and quadruple. Unemployment rates nationally for specific groups such as Black Men and Black Teenagers are even more glaring.  USA Unemployment = 9.1%  Black Unemployment = 16.2 % Black males = 17.5%  Black teens almost 41%

Black and Latino Incarceration Rates Black man = 1 in 3 (32%) Latino man = 1 in 6 (17%) White man has = 1 in 17 (5.9%).  It costs $35-50,000 annually (varies state/federal) to incarcerate someone.

Black/Latino Wealth Gap The wealth gaps between whites and minorities have grown to their widest levels in a quarter-century. The recession and uneven recovery have erased decades of minority gains, leaving whites on average with 20 times the net worth of blacks and 18 times that of Hispanics, according to an analysis of new Census data.

People of Color Poverty Rates Poverty rates for blacks and Hispanics greatly exceed the national average. In 2010, 27.4 percent of Blacks and 26.6 percent of Hispanics were poor, compared to 9.9 percent of non-Hispanic whites and 12.1 percent of Asians. Poverty rates are highest for families headed by single women, particularly if they are Black or Hispanic. In 2010, 31.6 percent of households headed by single women were poor, while 15.8 percent of households headed by single men and 6.2 percent of married-couple households lived in poverty.

Native-born vs. foreign-born residents In 2010, 19.9 percent of foreign-born residents lived in poverty, compared to 14.4 percent of residents born in the United States. Foreign-born, non-citizens had an even higher incidence of poverty, at a rate of 26.7 percent.

OCCUPY THE HOOD!

Love you, Ben! <3

Happy weekend, y'all.

I'm getting to the point of legit hate for organized religion. If they all want to be so politically active--let them pay taxes like the rest of us.

So how many more women will die because you EVIL FUCKING CHRISTIANS have impinged on the 1st Amendment Rights of your fellow Americans to the point of denying healthcare to the neediest in the name of Jesus Christ?
