Tax Day Mail


More mail, this one from a Move On member in Seattle, where I live, inviting me (and you) to  local protest that is part of a nationwide tax day protest.  If you are not working or busy filing your taxes go and help nail corporate tax dodgers like GE.  (GE has agreed to pay some taxes for the year they paid nothing, all the while claiming to be as pure as a little lamb.)


You're Invited:
Protest corporate tax dodgers: 
Monday—Tax Day—in Seattle 
Host: Norm C., MoveOn member 

Where: Bank of America in Ballard at 20th and NW Market (in Seattle) 

When: Monday, Apr. 18, at 11:30 AM 

Can you come?

I'll be there 
I can come. 

Can't make it 
Sorry, I can't make it this time. 
What: While vital government services get cut, corporations like GE are making huge profits, but paying no federal taxes. So, on Monday—Tax Day—in Seattle, and at hundreds of events across the country, we'll gather outside the headquarters and local offices of the biggest corporate tax dodgers to deliver tax bills from the American people. We'll demand that our leaders make them pay up, instead of cutting billions from programs that would create new jobs, drive economic growth and help the needy and our nation's children.

I just said that if they used that word I would go tell Grandpa, and they complied.  In a high school the teacher had let the discussion degenerate and the topic of "welfare" came up and a girl stated  an old stereotype that my Daddy says "All the blacks go pick up their welfare checks in Cadillacs."  I wanted that direction of the conversation to end immediately, so I blurted out "Well your Daddy is a racist."  There was silence in the room for a couple of minutes and then the teacher changed the subject.  When people have b

 Striking at Bourgeois Values with "Free Stuff"  Why is it that in middle class neighborhoods no one would think anything of it if you are having a "yard sale"  or a "moving sale", spending your entire day selling your possessions at pennies on the dollar, a tenth of what you could get on E-Bay, making less than the federal minimum wage for your efforts, but they would shrink in horror from a "free stuff pile".  What is the world coming from that  they place so little value on material possessions that they would give it away for nothing.  Someone will surely complain that you are doing "illegal dumping", even if you tend the pile and fold things back up.  Fortunately for me, I live in a neighborhood with a heavy student population, north of Seattle's University of Washington campus, and such a pile is welcome.  Having purged the house of unneeded things that aren't worth my time trying to sell (unlike my art, which I will find
