Quote:
We're going to dramatize this through satire by putting democracy in the casket ... on Monday at 11 AM at the Galilee Baptist Church ... 5251 E. Outer Drive.... A surgeon cuts to cure you. An axe murderer cuts to kill you. Emergency Managers are not surgeons.

So that in 2010, the last year we have statistics on this, 93%, I want you to think about this, 93% of all new income created between 2009 and 2010 went to the top 1%. You have the top 1% owning 40% of the wealth in America. Now who do you think should be asked to bear the burden of austerity? Do you think it should be elderly people on $15,000 a year, who should see cuts in social security, or senior citizens who should see cuts in their Medicare, or kids who don't get enough nutrition now see cuts in nutrition programs, or do we ask the wealthy and large corporations to start contributing to deficit reduction? You're seeing that fight in Europe. You're seeing it in the United States. And that is going to be the issue, I think, the whole world is going to be focusing on in the coming months.
