The New 15% Corporate Minimum Tax Will Pay for the Student Loan Forgiveness Program. It's Like Robin Hood... Take From the Rich and Give to the Poor. MY Taxes Didn't Increase... So I'm Not Paying a Penny for this New Program.

$238 Billion Dollars will now be Spent by Students at Businesses... Increasing Profits... and Increasing Taxes Paid on those Profits... This is a Classic Example of BUBBLE UP! Economics... EVERYBODY WINS!

In Reality, Who Pays for the Student Loan Forgiveness Program? NOT YOU and NOT ME. There is No New Increase in YOUR Taxes... So YOU Do Not Pay for this New Expense... SOMEONE Pays and That's the Billionaires...

and Tax Cheats Will Be Paying for the Student Loan Forgiveness Program. THEIR Taxes Will be Going UP This Year. NOT MINE! The IRS is Hiring! and They Will Be COLLECTING MORE Just When Money Will Be Needed to Pay for The New Expense...

My Student Loans Were Totally Worth It! Graduating Doubled my Rate of Pay! After Graduating with a BSCS (Computer Science), I got a Job that Paid twice as much as I Had ever been Paid Before... and Put my Student Loan on Auto Pay... It was Gone in 5 Years... HOWEVER... I went to Humboldt State University where the Tuition is LOW... What if You went to School in a State that was NOT CALIFORNIA? Then You would have a Massive Student Loan Debt... What if You Didn't Graduate in a PRACTICAL MAJOR? and Ended up Making Tacos at Taco Bell again... There are Many Majors that are Totally Useless... At HSU if You Studied Nursing or Computers You did Great! but those "whooptie-doo" Majors left Students with a Huge Pile of Debt and NO SELLABLE SKILLS!


and "SG" on FaceBorg Asked: Why should I be responsible for your student loan debt? 

and I Responded: You are not Responsible under the Biden Plan... All of this is paid for by Taxing the Super Rich. There is no Increase to Your Taxes... There is a 15% Tax on Billionaires... and The IRS WILL be Auditing Tax Cheats... That's where the Money Comes from...

Fact check: If you don't make $400,000, you are not paying more taxes for anyone's student loans.

Not one dime.

Smedley D. Butler Said: 

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Automatic Rainbow Quest by gvan42


Lisa Garr Said:

I have a longing. I have a longing to belong. A longing to connect and to feel welcomed and celebrated. I think one of our core human desires is to intimately know the feeling of being unconditionally invited in. Invited into the hearts, minds and presence of our community, of our world.

When I had my NDE (Near Death Experience), I experienced eternity in a moment. I experienced an ascension into the blissful meshing of the all-that-is. Having been enveloped in, and subsequently returning to this world with, that memory deep in my bones, well, it has changed my life. When my spirit touched the blissful radiance of the beyond, I was still connected and alive on this planet, Earth. In a sense I became a bridge between that energetic belonging and this world - with all its issues, complications and surprise changes. I became a circuit.

Now, let me tell you. You are all already circuits for your own mystery, your own soul growth and your own story. When I say “Stay Aware”, I also mean holding vigil for the part of us that is deeply connected to the blissful belonging. By “Stay Aware”, I mean honor your ongoing practice of being present with the sensations and embodiment of your body.

Developing awareness is more akin to taking off a layer of clothing and finding new and more expressive ways to move, dance, touch and connect. This can be achieved in many ways, some of which we explore on The Aware Show with the many gifted healers, thinkers and visionaries of our time. Each modality, each experience is another moment in your journey towards belonging.

Next time you have a minute to take a “Mindful Moment”, take a seat somewhere you feel safe. Take a deep breath in and invite yourself back to yourself. I know it sounds silly, but just try it out. Breathe in and say aloud “I invite myself back to myself.” Pause, breath through the silence and notice any sensation in your body or feelings. Then repeat again “I belong to myself. I am here fully.” Again, pause for deep breath and non-judgmental observation of the experience. Take one last deep breath in your fullness and in your present state and say, “I am here, I am willing to connect and grow.”

Breathe with whatever subtle or not so subtle feelings or responses occur. Acknowledge what shows up and try not to get caught up with it. Just allow yourself to be aware of yourself. Allow yourself to become the conduit of your bliss and your physical circumstances. Together you are a circuit, and soon your dreams will become clearer and you will be guided towards making them a realty.

In love & gratitude, Lisa Garr

It's not the overwhelming toxics in our environment--it's the shot in the arm; it's not climate change caused by unfathomable volumes of chemicals tossed into the atmosphere--it's chemtrails; it's not selective news reporting by a press beholden to its advertisers--it's fake news; it's not horrid foreign policies in 3rd world countries supporting dictators and cartels--it's immigration; it's not a history of systemic racism and legacy of slavery and genocide--it's that darker skinned people are inferior; it's not the money made by the arms dealers, religions, and resource extractors--it's just that there always will be wars; it's not that the candidates are pre-selected and the system discourages good people from running--it's that the voting machines are rigged; it's not that the Democrats are the other arm of the capitalist party beholden to the banks--it's that they are socialists.  Each distraction has a "something" that proposes an answer that the believer can latch on to, and those "somethings" run cover for the colossal facts that run rogue over our planet and its lifeforms.  These distractions are deliberately inserted into the discourse to distract us from the root problems and most importantly, to divide us. Snap out of it!

I'm watching a Huell Howser Touring California TV Show and He Goes to Calexico... The Southern Most Town in California... While there He Visits the HOTEL DE ANZA... I Remembered that in San Jose We Also Had a Hotel De Anza... and a College Named De Anza... and I Realized that I Had No Idea What the Words DE ANZA Mean in English... So I Look it Up in Google Translate and It Says Of Anza... Well, That's Not Too Enlightening... So I Guessed there was a Man Named De Anza! and...  He Was a Major Force in California History... He was the Soldier that Protected the Catholic Father while Building the Mission in San Francisco and the Army Base called The Presidio... and there is a Town named San Juan Bautista... Which is Odd because De Anza was Not a Saint... But I Guess there was Someone ELSE Named Juan Bautista... Oh, yeah... Saint John the Baptist! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Bautista_de_Anza

Fashion Question: What Makes a Scrub a Scrub? A Caregiver Has Been Wearing Normal Clothes around here for Months and Then Yesterday She wore Scrubs... It Was Obvious  to me that they WERE Scrubs but I Can't Explain What Makes a Scrub a Scrub...

SE SAID: I’m no expert on scrubs, but I think they are the pants and shirt that most nurses and medical assistants wear. Can’t really describe them, but that’s what I consider scrubs. But again, I’m no expert. I’ve never worked in a hospital or doctors office.

I Replied: It's a Mystery... I can tell instantly that a person IS wearing Scrubs... But I Can't Define What makes a Shirt STOP being Regular Clothes... and START Being Scrubs... and The Caregiver in Question Wears Regular Clothes when she is working as the Facility Manager but on the Days that she actually works as a Care Giver... She Wears Scrubs!

Basically: Scrubs are Clothes designed to Be Easily Cleaned and Totally Sterile... No Secret Places for Germs to Hide... Unlike the Classic White Doctor's Lab Coat that Has Pockets! a Known Place to Harbor Bacteria. It's Really Difficult to Launder the INSIDE of a Pocket...

Letter from Bernie Sanders - This is OUR YEAR! - Medicare for all, free tuition at public colleges and universities, a $15 minimum wage, gun safety legislation

I want to tell you about a very exciting trip that I took last weekend to Texas and Arizona. That follows the trip we took several weeks ago to Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. Of these six states, Trump won five. And, in Illinois, where Trump lost, progressives are taking on the old and moribund Democratic machine.
The very good news is: the political revolution is on the move, not only in progressive states but in conservative areas as well. You have heard me say it a million times. This country will not change if the Democratic Party continues to ignore half the states in this country, including some of the poorest.
We're not going to transform the politics of the United States by just doing fundraisers with wealthy people in New York and California or starting Super PACs funded by special interests. We have got to take the fight for economic, social, racial and environmental justice to every county in every state in this country.
And the good news is that is exactly what is beginning to happen. This year, there are more candidates than ever on the ballot - in progressive and conservative areas - who support Medicare for all, free tuition at public colleges and universities, a $15 minimum wage, gun safety legislation and our entire progressive agenda.
In many instances, these candidates are fighting against a political establishment that tells them they cannot win running on a progressive agenda, and they are fighting against a financial elite who will spend anything to stop them. We should work as hard as we can to elect those candidates, and I intend to - just as I did this past weekend. But I cannot do it alone. So I have to ask:
That's what the political revolution is about and that's what, with your support, we're doing. And, trust me, it's not me alone. Hundreds of volunteers helped on this trip and I spoke alongside of great progressives like Jim Hightower of Texas and Nina Turner, the national president of Our Revolution.
Do you want to hear about success? In Texas earlier last week, progressive candidates have either won or advanced to runoffs in 19 out of 27 races that were contested, and voter turnout shot way up statewide.
On our visit to Texas we had thousands of people come out in San Antonio and Lubbock. Yes. In Lubbock, one of the most conservative areas in Texas, where Trump won 2-1, we had a standing room only crowd of 1,300. This is a place where the Democratic Party is incredibly weak and where the local newspaper claimed no progressive rally like ours had taken place in a "long time, if ever."

(The massive crowd at the rally in San Antonio, Texas)
In Lubbock, 46 percent of the population is Latino or African American and the overwhelming majority of the community is poor or working class. Yet like in many other rural parts of the country, the Democratic Party has conceded the area and right-wing Republicans keep winning. That's pathetic, and we're in the process of changing that.
And what was our message in Trump country? It was that the political pundits are wrong when they say there are "blue states" like Vermont, "red states" like Texas, and "purple states" like Arizona, and that we need to be "realistic" in our goals because there are big differences between them all.

(Bernie takes a moment to thank some volunteers in Lubbock, Texas)
Well, I don't believe that for a second and neither should you. I believe that in every state in this country, working people are struggling. There must be - and there will be - a progressive government that fights for all of us, not just the 1 percent.
Because no matter where you live, the vast majority of people don't believe in a Republican agenda that provides huge tax breaks to billionaires while cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
No matter where you live, the vast majority of the people understand that in the wealthiest country in the history of the world people should not be forced to work two or three jobs to pay the bills because we have a national minimum wage of $7.25 an hour - a starvation wage. They also understand that women should not be earning 80 percent or less of what men make for doing the same work.
No matter where you live, we all get sick, we all have accidents and we all need health care. And we now see a growing majority in this country who understand that health care is a right, not a privilege. We also see more and more people who want a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system.
No matter where you live, the majority of people understand that is is insane and counterproductive to the best interests of our country that hundreds of thousands of bright people cannot afford to go to college and that millions of others leave school with a mountain of debt that burdens them for decades.
No matter where you live, more and more Americans, including gun owners, understand that we need to do everything possible to end the unspeakable level of gun violence that is currently taking place. They know that, no matter what the NRA thinks, we need to pass commonsense gun safety legislation which keeps guns out of the hands of people who should not have them.

(A huge turnout for Bernie at the Orpheum Theater in Phoenix, Arizona)
The final stop of our trip was Phoenix, Arizona. When I arrived on Saturday evening a young women working at the hotel I was staying at told me something that should shock and disgust you. In 2016, she waited in line for seven hours to vote in Arizona. Imagine that - seven hours in line to participate in our democracy. That she waited seven hours in line to vote for me was extremely humbling. But what about all those who couldn't wait, because of their families or their jobs? Every one of us should work to end voter suppression in Arizona and many other states across the country. We need a vigorous democracy in which every single person can participate in our electoral process.
At our rally the next day thousands of people came out to talk about the importance of comprehensive immigration reform that is based on justice, not racism; the urgent need to ensure health care is a right for every man, woman and child in this country; and the importance of energizing and electing progressives in Arizona and all across the country in 2018.

(And the overflow crowd outside the event in Phoenix, Arizona)
We can elect progressives in Arizona in 2018. We can elect them in Texas as well. We can elect them in New York and North Dakota, Mississippi, Kansas, South Carolina and Idaho.
And we must. Because the continued decline of the middle class, grotesque levels of income and wealth inequality, disastrous trade policies and an inadequate educational system affect all of us.
This year, I am going to campaign hard to elect progressives in communities Democrats have long written off. But I cannot do it alone. I need your help to make it happen:
We are at a critical moment for the future of the Democratic Party, and for our country. As progressives we are making progress, but much more needs to be done. Trump is trying to divide our country up through racism, bigotry and xenophobia. We are bringing people together in the fight for justice and dignity for all.
Thank you for your support in realizing that goal.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders

Levi Sanders for Congress - New Hampshire. Bernie's Son. In favor of health care for all Americans. Raise the minimum wage.

https://sandersforcongress.com/

The majority of voters in New Hampshire, and around this country, agree that we need a Medicare For All healthcare system which guarantees healthcare to every man, women, and child without out of pocket expenses. We need an educational system which says that whether you are rich or poor, you have the ability to go to a public college and/or university tuition free. We need to demand that we have a minimum wage which allows people to work forty hours a week without being in poverty. It is urgent that we address the opioid problem which is at a crisis level in New Hampshire. We must demand that women finally earn the same pay as men. It is unacceptable that we haven’t found the political courage to pass sensible gun legislation.
