The manipulation of the American taxpayer has no boundaries to curtail making them pay for weapons of mass destruction as part of the Israeli government’s genocide inflicted on hundreds of thousands of Gazan civilians—infants, children, mothers and fathers.
One of these weapons is an MK-84 murderous bomb that propels thousands of deadly pellets for thousands of yards that can break through concrete—not to mention human beings.

Who defends the US taxpayer? No one in the Executive Branch controlled by Tyrant Trump AKA Netanyahu’s toady. No one in the federal judicial branch who rules taxpayers have no standing to sue to challenge such mass murders. And certainly not in the majority in Congress, bought and paid for by AIPAC and the weapons manufacturers.

It really is time for a substantive Taxpayer Revolt. Taxpayers are forced to fund the massive military empire in other countries backyards. Taxpayer Revolts are usually on tax rates—but it’s time for a taxpayer revolt on how our taxes are being illegally used to destroy the lives of innocent women, men and children abroad and take away those needed revenues from being invested back into our communities at home.
Do any groups like @taxpayers want to take the lead on such a left/right initiative? -R

Ralph welcomes Keira Havens a United States Air Force veteran and the executive director of Citizens’ Impeachment a grassroots organization that lobbies Congress and supports candidates who are willing to impeach and convict Donald Trump for a myriad of Constitutional violations.
Then Michael Marx, founder of the group CorpEthics that conducts marketing campaigns that apply public pressure to corporations to change their behavior, joins us to discuss his new book “Reining in the Bulls: How to Stop Corporate Abuse in an Age of Unbridled Greed.”

In 1979, @RalphNader researchers documented how companies were flooding schools with corporate-sponsored lessons for kids.
My new book, "Coding Kids," traces corporate influence in classrooms from then to now. If you care about this, I'd be thrilled if you ordered the book!

Why won’t the media call a crime a crime? This is in reference to Trump’s seizure of Venezuela (“we’re in charge now”) and the preposterous mega oil deal.
Both are illegal because they were not authorized by the Congress under Article 4 of the Constitution. Both violate the criminal statute called the Anti-Deficiency Act because they are involving the spending of taxpayer dollars unauthorized by Congress.
Still, the @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @WSJ, @AP have not reported it as crimes. Pure and simple. No shades of grey. -R
