29. that I don't know -- but I have hope after reading the OWS paper circulating
We're certainly going to get lots of whining about *well nafta allowed us to go overseas* -- but when they close up EVERYTHING here, and then import things back, at the SAME prices or higher, while their costs go down -- there has to be some giveback. And the amount should not be up to them.

I honestly think we're going to have to clean house to get anything of substance for the middle class. We've been shit on for so long -- I have no patience or mercy for the companies that have been working with treacherous groups like Alec or the Koch Brothers or Rove's band of traitors.

A road use tax would be easily implemented, because these companies track the movement of their goods. Hit them with a use tax, along with an import tax to start. And use that money to fix infrastructure, and give free re-training to Americans. If enough is left over, use it to re-start the factories, and retro-fit them for production of wind and solar products.
