[Occupymendocino] Rick's proposal

[Ad Ross]

Those of us who are privileged enough to have excess money (!) would  
be pleased to "give up" some percentage of our benefits.  But there  
are many many more of us who are not privileged, and who scrape by  
every single month -- no, make that every single minute.  Means- 
testing is a good way to cut benefits!  But across-the-board cuts,  
like those the Republicans are pushing, make life terrible and much  
harder for Americans whose lives are already hard.  Where is the  
concern for the poor and those who simply cannot afford to give up a  
nickel in the national interest?  What do you think the national  
interest is?  I think it is to care for those who are disadvantaged.   
This is my view, and I do not speak for anyone else.
