 We must abandon the

“love it or leave it” attitude, where the general public has rolled over for

Corporate America and accepted it’s our job to pay their way.  Year after year these companies report record

profits so why aren’t they paying record taxes?  These companies have the power to not only save

our economy but to close the income gap by paying employees more but instead

they gut the Middle Class for all they’re worth.  Every single protester is a hero in my book

and I even helped create some free posters for the cause which you can download
