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.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Another toxic waste site. In Mead, Nebraska, an ethanol plant has been polluting water and fields with toxic waste. A $100 million cleanup is planned. People and their homesteads are being tested for toxic chemicals.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Watts was next to a scrap metal site for 70 yrs. It’s taken a toll on the kids attending school there. Their lungs must be full of toxic chemicals from the scrap metal plant. One neurotoxin was identified and reported to the Guardian. For years the Lower and middle Classes said nothing. Thankfully, they’re finding their voices and suing for removal of this facility. Toxic waste can’t exist near people, any people. The people of Chicago successfully removed their scrap metal facility. We know , if we can see the dust, taste an impure substance, it’s not good for us. Complain, don’t be silent! Help your Community survive!

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 Are these members of the house living in Reality. Give small business tax credits to set up expensive 401k’s for employee & employer savings accounts for retirement. Where will the extra money to save be found? Are they increasing the Minimum Wage to $15/hr Nationally? Are they changing the NLRB making Unionization easier for Labor? Are they enforcing anti trust, encouraging entrepreneurs to become more competitive , giving entrepreneurs a greater piece of the Corporate pie? Give more money to the Lower and Middle Classy and they’ll happily save! I know, at Ford, Pfizer, Banker Trust , I set 6% of my salary aside for saving and it was matched by the Corporation. As a small but owner, I was told not to take on the Responsibility of a pension fund & paid my Labor high salaries, gave them healthcare and paid leave instead. One day I hoped to share my business with them, but the Recession of 2008 blocked those plans. Many employees of entrepreneurs have not recovered financially. For The Families Act is still required and supported by 70% of the People.

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.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The World can no longer afford the adventurism of the Past. Putin’s War, though terrifying & awesome, is a distraction from the World’s real problems. Carbon and methane emissions. The Pacif Northwest is burning and the smoke is harming our lives. As the Planet warms, we’ll develop a feedback loop, making the Planet warm faster. Then people will become more sick. The cycle of Increased emissions has to end. We can’t meet Fossil Fuel goals. We’re barely using Solar. We need a massive pivot to Solar and safe smaller nuclear reactors. I was taught , self preservation was a priority? What happened? PBS FRONTLINE, tonight Big Oil’s Big lie! Perhaps “we the People “ can find our Voices!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce How the rich get richer. They’re still paying less taxes than someone making $200,000 a year. That is why we need an up to date well funded IRS. start asking for a social safety net , the For the Families Act we were promised and everyone not voting yes, don’t re elect them. We want an open recorded vote! Up and down voting on For the Families Act. Resurrecting the middle class. We want a higher tax rate for those making $100 million + No more tax evaders!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The FT link below can not be shared with many, so let me Paraphrase it! Macron is in a fight for the Presidency of France against Marie Le Pen. As a “populist”. & a Putin acolyte, she is free to say anything that resounds with “We the People”. She’s right when she criticizes the executive pay of many CEO’, they’re rewarded whether warranted or not. Is Le Pen in that elite group herself? Probably. Is Putin surrounded by Oligarchs he made and in turn , you bet. What did Donald Trump do when he got into the White House, he created the largest tax cut for Corporations in American History. Trump ushered in the 2 nd Gilded Age. To be elected in Democracies, it takes money. Take money out of politics and Presidents or Premiers won’try on the military corporate complex, power will revert to “We the People”. Democracies don’t exist under a show of Putin and Kleptocrats, they exist under well intentioned individuals, like Macron. Say no to LePen and foreign interference in EU politics and let the EU know and understand your concerns. Democracy thrives on an informed involved Public! Equality is a new concept in a Centuries old tradition of rule by the wealthy. The people must vote for Macron and the EU and demand that their voices are heard. Democracy is fragile and must be cultivated to achieve results for “We the People”. It can happen with 100% participation. It will never happen with Putin puppets, they’ll say what you want to hear to be elected, then they’ll repress your Nation . Get all foreign powers out of free elections. Choose, Macron.
