AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce CPAC & HUNGARY’s Orban to meet and share Their hatred of others. As the alt right shares a global banner. Both leaders espoused Hitler’s racism & are Putin and Bannon acolytes. Worse 4Chan is still up and recruiting people like the Buffalo shooter. The site has the Manifesto on line along with copycat videos of violence. If the Buffalo shooter was insane, why not choose suicide not Homicides? That defense isn’t plausible. #SaveLivesRemove4Chan

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As CEO’s & Corporations make record profits, works in retail and the fast food industry barely make $260 a week. That’s not a living wage. With Corporate profits rising, and Corporate generated Inflation rising , too, a $15 minimum wage will barely suffice. People need a Basic Living Wage and Unionization at every level of work insuring better pay, benefits, safe working conditions and a seat at the Corporate Table! We need a # Clean Slate for Labor. We need a change in the Dept of Labor rules, favoring employees and not owners.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce I disagree when Olsen says, the poor & middle class got us into inflation. It’s Corporate Greed 100% & the top 1%. Absolutely, I agree, tax the 1%. Also raise Corporate taxes to 28%. Don’t touch our social security or Medicare. Instead, let everyone pay into payroll deduction and FICA according to your salary. Stop limiting income to be taxed, unless you make the first $118,400 non taxable ? Convert Hedge Funds fee s to income and tax it as ordinary income. Stop the Financial Game playing. If the GOP wants rate increases, they’ll bring us to a Reagan era recession and more stock market sell offs. Stop Corporate Greed & Raise the lower and middle Class safety net. Pay down the deficit by increasing Revenue! Start building America.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If we begin fracking in the Permian Basin and the Gulf, CO2 emissions will push climate gases up into Billions of Tons and tip our Planet into inhabitability. To be effective against Fossil Fuels greed, the Federal Government must reduce their Trillion Dollar subsidies and enforce anti trust policies, curbing their rise in profits and profits at the pump. While everyone else makes low wages. Oil and gas prices are inflated for profits. This inflation predates the Ukrainian War. Stop Price Gouging and pass legislation helping “We the People “ survive.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Food Banks have become a necessity abroad and here. Their expansion has grown with inflationary pricing. Societies institutions are broken. “We the People “ need a #BasicLivingWage” $10,000 for everyone making $75,000 or less and 18 yrs or older. In America, the founding fathers envisioned, free education at 18 and a funded pension plan . Ideas whose time has come! #Politics Affects US!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Slick PR presents the oil & gas companies as the savior of education? They use their money to influence public opinion, knowing that Fossil Fuels are heating our Planet and destroying our lives.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Blame the oil & gas companies for continuing their production of Fossil Fuels, knowing the consequences to our planet and water supply. Blame administrations that continued to encourage Fossil Fuels over renewable ent. California is suffering fraught in 95% of the state. The Southern counties, including LA can’t water their lawns except, once a week? People in all counties need drinking water, that should take precedence over Lawns. #. #StopBigAgraSubsidies & #Fossil Fuel Subsidies #GoSolar fast

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Why inflation now? Because on average, US corporations made 49% profit, rewarded shareholders and bought back stock . Consumers are paying higher prices for food and gas , as their wages increased only 1.6%. This, like climate change, is a man made tragedy based on Corporate Greed. Corporations don’t have to pass on higher prices, they have chosen to do so, because they control the marketplace. Where is anti trust enforcement? Where is the will to increase and roll back Corporate tax cuts. The Industrial, government, military complex is forcing more Americans into poverty. Why? #GREED. #Crony Capitalism is not sustainable in the long run. Neither is inflation.

America Speaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Why are oil prices Higher, because 28 oil and gas Corporations gave their CEO’s record salaries accruing from record profits! They’ve increased the prices at our homes & in the tank, because they can. There is no enforcement of anti trust Laws. They can be enforced! Corporate accountability doesn’t exist, it’s like self regulation. It doesn’t happen without taking away subsidies and forcing oil & gas back to Renewable development or there’s another way. A class action suit against these oil & gas companies for knowingly committing crimes against humanity! Thanks to oil & gas companies, we have climate deniers and Climate Change. It’s time for positive informed action against Runaway Inflation and the oil & gas industry as a start!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Politicians have feasted off of Corporate Profits and largess. They’ve encouraged profits over people, rewarded Big Corporations with the Trump Tax Cuts, encouraging minimal taxation of the Wealthy and now they’re surprised by Corporate Greed. Industry is out of control. The Corporate Manyra is greed. Rein in all Corporations by taxation & individual taxation, enforce anti trust Laws in every institution and we’ll get a return to ethics in the marketplace. There is no honor among thieves . It’s not just the shippers at fault, Corporate Greed has run amok and we’re all paying for ,it with Inflated pricing.
