Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Tax Day at Corporate America

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Tax Day at Corporate America

Click here to access more information at US Uncut.

I am so pleased to see that many of my fellow Americans are getting up off the floor after being knocked over by the latest bankster scams, standing up, and acting like Egyptians and the people of Wisconsin. They are fighting back against the tax cuts for the rich and public spending tax cuts for the rest of us. (For foreign readers, tomorrow the 18th of April is when income taxes are due to the US government.)

If the ruling class wants class war, we'll give it to them!

After perusing the site and watching the video, check out the nearest area where demonstrations are planned for Monday (tax day) where you live.

In this video we see the citizens in San Francisco on Friday having fun at the expense of Bank of America.
