Some economists are already coming up reasons why we won’t get this.

However I think refunds to us is required to achieve justice.

The people should be the group that are reimbursed when we are unfairly charged, and we should be the group considered to big to fail when the banks steal and squander.

What our country needs more than anything is a a public tha that demands that our needs must come before corporate wants or needs.

A country is its people, and the goods and services providers must not come before us.
