I am at the University and tonight they have political strategist Karl Rove here as a guest what speaker. Wat, wat ???
I couldn't get in but I was there,at the student union ballroom where he was to speak. What I saw was the "Protesters" signs that said things like:
Liar for Hire, and War Crimes...etc, etc...
But have you notice the war dim are "waging" (listen to the word) "waging" against poor people???
I have so I didn't want to do it but, but.... (hear it goes, listen up):
The right of "Return to Rent Control":
This is a petition and a request to recognize that the poorest of the poor people are now being "targeted" and threatened with cut backs to the necessities of life. This petition for the return to rent control in the state of Massachusetts notes that the loss of rent control in the State of Massachusetts came from the Republican "govenator" Governor William Weld in 1996. This has caused massive increases in rents to rental apartments as well as two and three years on a waiting list for low income family rental assistance.
This petition also recognizes that "the poor" are not the cause of the present budget "deficit" problem but rather suspects that years and years of "wars" and "wall street too big Bankers" are to be questioned in this regard.
What this petition aims to do is present the case for the poor peoples contribution and support for the Common Wealth of Massachusetts as reason for this request for the Return to Rent Control.
What must be recognized in this request is the millions and millions of dollars in revenue collected daily in the Massachusetts Lottery system that is totally garnered from the pockets of
the "poor people" of Massachusetts. It is the working poor, that buy 5 and 6 $20 scratch tickets at a time. It is the elderly, the senior citizens, disabled veterans, and/or the single mothers with dependent children standing in line to buy the "power ball" lottery tickets twice a week and other state lottery games etc, etc.
It must also be noted that "poor people" pay taxes. Yes, they do pay taxes on everything they buy that is taxed in this state. The difference however is that the "poor people" pay "more" in tax in percentage since they have less in money. They actually pay a larger percent of their income than those with more money.
That being the "case" it is only "reasonable" to request consideration from the Common Wealth of Massachusetts and/or our Democratic Governor, Deval Patrick to roll back the rock,
that is The Right to "RETURN RENT CONTROL" for the sake of the poorer citizens in the Common Wealth of Massachusetts that contribute and support this state.
