286 billion Farm Aid Bill for 2008
 
And the bulk of it goes to huges businesses, i.e., major corporations. Will the citizens of the U.S. stand together and revolt before 2012?

No they will not. I tried to express this sentiment as a poll vote, but I was unable to do so.

286b for farm aid; 451b for defense; 200b for war, and you're only 63b shy of 1 trillion dollars.

When do organize, march and scream from the mountain tops like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?

You're screaming about the wrong thing. People hear $1,000,000,000,000 and just switch off they can't handle the idea of a number that big. You should keep shouting over and over to anyone that'll listen that violence is wrong and that taxation is violence. Winning the morality of the situation is the only way to change anything.

That's why I relate the needed movement to that of Dr. King's.

When I talk to young adults, age 18-24, with nothing more than a high school education, making $12.00 an hr in MD, they do not even know that their state legislature just passed the largest increase in state taxes in its history, much less anything about the position Hillary has on the issues. They just like the idea of a woman in the white house.

Mention a 286b farm aid bill and they respond that nobody has done anything in the past about it, the candidates can talk all they want, just like in the past, but they won't do anything. So let's elect a woman.

She does look fairly decent in a pants suit.

I voted no. I doubt the masses have yet to see the light.
