    Virginia Cusick – Indian farmers have been comimtting suicide at the rate of 17,500 a MONTH!!!The only bad part about the loss of these sugar beets is that the taxpayers have paid 60% of all their crop insurance premiums & is now giving this FOREIGN company {syngenta} a 100% payoff! It is time for the taxpayerss to start DEMANDING {by marching in the streets & working under the table whenever possible} that our tax money be spent more wisely. Schools are falling apart due to the privatization and all that $ from every state is going to 1 guy in Maryland, {the reason you pay property tax is to support your local school & gov’t, not for helping out another town, etc.}, school lunch programs have been privatized and those co’s have literally taken a child’s plate of food and dumped it in the trash in front of all the kids and forced the kids to sit and watch the other kids eat & go hungry for as little as 5 cents short on their lunch payment, they don’t call the parents to tell them the kid is going w/o food that day and they don’t even provide the kid with the federally mandated free lunch in these cases, privatized prisons have Americans working for all the big computer companies for $1.20 an hr & ALEC runs the shows for them, {most communities don’t know that THEY have to pay for water, sewer, police & maintenance for these prisons}, big oil is getting tons of money at the taxpayers expense, foreign companies are ruining our water and stealing citizen’s land using eminent domain, privatized detention centers are keeping illegal’s in their jails for years {costing taxpayers 100 s of thousands PER INMATE} instead of processing the folks and sending them right home to Mexico within a week .all this is deliberate to rape taxpayers.Maybe all businesses should start demanding the same deals that Walmart, HP, Microsoft, etc. get when they want to save money demand money and tax breaks from the local gov’ts, would be great if someone with $ could just sue over this issue if the local gov’t refuses. Currently the city of Lebanon is going broke cuz they can’t pay back HP with something like a 14% interest rate for assessing their property too high .IF the city hadn’t given away the farm to begin with the citizens wouldn’t be facing higher taxes due to this $hit! Portland has been after peep to save water for years, early this year on the news came this crap. because citizens have been saving so much on their water the rates have been raised cuz the water dep’t is losing money!! Time for a revolution!!! Who OWNS our natural resources???
