How much do the members receive by way of cash compensation?
ReplyDeleteNeeded: A cradle-to-grave social safety net for all citizens. Then we wouldn't have to set up and operate community food banks which rely on private sector donations and volunteer labor.
ReplyDeleteIt is an all volunteer board, all of the members donate their time and talents. The only compensation is that good feeling that you get when doing something good for your community.

ReplyDeleteWhat are you smoking?
You don't think the county, state, and feds (all my tax dollars) spend enough on:
housing
food
clothing
special ed
counseling
health?
Dear Anon. 8:52 AM, Because we chuck two billion bucks a week out the window to support an unjust ifiable war in Afghanistan, we neglect the needs of of our own people. If we were smart like the Western Europeans, we'd stay out of corporate porkers' foreign wars on distant shores and use our wealth to assist our own citizens. Assuming we got the heck out of the damned Near East and Central Asia, we could give our people a cradle-to-grave social safety net without raising your taxes.(As for "smoking," I've never used so-called recreational drugs in my life. Dope is for dopes!)
ReplyDelete7:14 - you had us fooled about the pot - because you are a dope.
ReplyDeleteDear Sir, Nope. I'm just a realist who files an honest report on our kleptoplutocratic system. Seriously speaking, if we learned to leave Central Asia and the Levant alone, we'd save at least two billion bucks per week. Assuming that we cut back on military spending in the Far East and Europe, we'd have even more loot to invest right here in the USA for the benefit of our fellow Americans. More than fifty years ago, Dwight David Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex and its tendency to get out of control. It's time for our people to vote for men who'll rein in the thugs who've saddled us with the priciest war machine in recorded history.
ReplyDeleteOne reason the European social democracies have been able to treat their citizens so well is the sad fact that the USA stepped in after World War II and shouldered what should have been their defense-related responsibilities. With our grunts shielding them from the Soviet Union's expansionist schemes, the Western and Central Europeans could build superb welfare states using wealth that otherwise would have been spent on armaments and armies.
ReplyDeleteIf we stopped playing cosmic cop games and slashed military spending, we'd have ample funds for social programs. Unlike our government, the savvy Western European regimes have invested heavily in their rank-and-file citizens'well-being. Over there, most governments cherish and protect their people. Unfortunately, our ruling class throws ordinary Americans to the economic wolf in the name of an antiquated "free enterprise" system which should have been buried with Ralph Waldo Emerson back in 1882.
ReplyDeleteNeeded: An end to corporate oligopoly,oligarchy and oppression. Big business boardroom bullies have had their day. Once we've cleaned up the mess they've inflicted on us, we must organize to build a government-funded social safety net for all American citizens. With federal social programs firmly in place, we'd no longer be required to rely on food banks and other private sector entities.
