Tax Evasion and Austerity

The Tax Justice Network looks to be doing some public good exposing tax evasion worldwide. Meanwhile, AC reports on tax evasion and money-laundering coverups by governments in Europe, including Greece, where IMF/EU-imposed austerity measures against workers are creating desperate poverty, while the rich are routinely protected from criminal prosecution.

Back in America, Paul Jay of The Real News Network interviews Bill Black on Obama’s great betrayal. As the Obama 2012 agenda released just before election day is to cut social programs, bringing economic and social ruin to the United States like austerity has already done in Europe, Black says we must prepare to fight Obama tooth and nail.

While we are understandably relieved to have kept the social monsters Romney and Ryan out of the White House, we need to remember Obama is Wall Street’s boy, and they want nothing more than to get their hands on the trillions of our dollars in the Social Security account.
