It made [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The happy ending to the classic Christmas film “It’s a Wonderful Life” is the people of Bedford Falls banding together to rescue George Bailey and the Bailey Brothers Building &#038; Loan that had given so many of them a leg up over the years. Republicans seek a different conclusion.  They find middle class cooperation and community intolerable. They want the film’s greedy banker, Henry Potter, with his “every man for himself” philosophy to triumph. In the spirit of their self-centered mentor Ayn Rand, Republicans are trying to disfigure America until she resembles Pottersville. ]]></description>

That works out to more than 208,000 jobs a month, well above the average of 132,000 jobs a month that have been created over the last 11 months of [...]]]></description>

As it stands, the One Percent are insisting that the country genuflect over the non-problem of the budget [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Americans don’t like debt, including bills owed by their government. It weighs on them; they’ll take second jobs to pay off loans. But for the majority of millionaires – the 1 percent -- incurring debt does not evoke anxiety. They’re numb to the feeling of obligation that indebtedness induces in the 99 percent. They feel no duty to repay America for creating the environment that enabled them to amass all that wealth.  Thus the Super Committee failed. The 1 percent refused to pay their debts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For too many Americans, it will be hard to muster gratitude this Thanksgiving as they suffer the painful and prolonged effects of the recession caused by the Wall Street crash. The past two months, though, produced glimmers of hope -- the occupation, the election and the mid-November demonstrations. These events suggest empowerment of the 99 percent and emergence of change. They’re reason for thanks giving, especially by those formerly in the middle class who will for the first time experience this holiday without the traditional feast. ]]></description>

Now, three years later, happy days are here again for the Wall Street banksters. But the American middle class continues to suffer high unemployment, record foreclosures and rising poverty. So it’s time for Wall Street to pay reparations. It’s time for a crash tax, a tiny sales tax on Wall Street transactions, the revenues from which would pay for Main Street restoration.]]></description>
