Does/can congress hold the justice department accountable?

We need a lot more congresspersons like her. As Elizabeth Warren said, the game IS rigged. When Reagan came into power, CEOs made 25 times more than their average worker; today it’s 500 times more.

Thirty-two years of Reaganomics have resulted in the top 1% seeing their share of national income triple over the last three decades while the bottom 90% have seen their share drop by 20%. Years of lobbying and outright bribery have rigged the tax code against working Americans, forcing them to pay a higher tax rate than members of the corporate elite like Mitt Romney and Warren Buffet. Not only that, but the higher taxes we pay don’t get reinvested to help the working class with things like better social services, education, or better infrastructure.

That money is going straight to corporate treasuries in the form of bail outs to Wall Street, tax subsidies to the oil industry, and give-aways to the for-profit health cartels. For instance, the Wall Street bailout paid by you and me led to banksters getting paid more than $50 billion in bonuses just in 2009, while that same year we the taxpayers lost 25% of the value of our 401Ks. That same year the richest 400 people increased their wealth by $30 billion, giving them more wealth than the bottom 155 million Americans combined.

That’s about half of America. Had our taxpayer money been invested in job creation instead, 5 million Americans could have been put back to work earning $30,000/year each. Our unemployment rate would be about 4-5%. Instead, more than $14 trillion was quietly passed out to Wall Street and corporate America. Trillions more went to our for-profit military-industrial complex so they could profit from the never-ending “war on terror.”

Not a single penny was re-invested in better education, better health care, better infrastructure, or job creation for working Americans. Before Dubya Bush, we Americans spent 7% of our income on food and energy. Today, it’s 20%.

Working Americans pay 8% of their income on health care, more than any other nation in the developed world, yet we get the worst results. The cost of housing for the middle class has gone up 34%. Smart people will not endorse the kind of middle class destroying policies that useful idiot Republicans are pushing.

Smart people are standing up and speaking out. They know that to reverse the damage we need to roll back the Reagan tax cuts and strengthen protections for labor unions. Taxpayer money needs to be re-invested in the community, and not given to transnational corporations to build factories in Viet Nam and pay their CEOs billions.

We’ve got it figured out.

Likely, because the DOJ is in Wall Street's pockets anyway.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
