Greed on a rampage

Forget global warming. Let’s discuss why corporations have a right to poison our water, pollute our air, our food and the land we live on, to save a few bucks. They’re killing us slowly.

Let’s discuss why we’re removing wild horses from public lands, exterminating wolves, grizzly bears and cougars, so some can dump more cattle – unsupervised – on public land for a token fee. Cattle are destroying those lands and we’re losing unique wildlife.

While CEOs got millions, the poor on Medicaid are being told to do without teeth and eyeglasses and either pay for some of their medications themselves or go without. Drug companies won’t help people on Medicaid cover them. How Christian of them.

This has been a decade of destructive greed which has cost millions of Americans everything they had. We must stop this from happening again. Corporations may own Congress but they don’t own us. Our votes still count, poor, homeless or just getting by. Don’t lose the one thing we have to fight back. Keep your voter’s registration current.
