I agree. Let's start putting those fetters back. Ban all big box stores. Tax the rich with high progressive taxes. End the sales tax. Restore the estate tax. End TIF. Mandate free TV for candidates. Tear down the billboards. Low power FM everywhere. Revoke corporate personhood. Support small business micro-loans. Big capitalists, like leeches, suck our blood and try to enslave us. Cast off these arrogant would-be masters. It's a question of survival, them or us. --David Shove Roseville REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
