Tax speculation to death. Fuck the Fascist futures market.

Do you appreciate 60% inflation to food, gasoline, heating fuels? Likely, Fuck No.

Then call on politicians to tax the speculation markets that inflate the cost of living for us.

Speculation taxes us with inflated commodities.

Kill that scam by taxing commodities futures trading, the biggest scam of free market capitalism.

Futures trading is the backbone of Fascist economic policy. It is Republicanism defined.

Democrats, end this scam. End the tax on all of us by killing the commodities trading markets.

Tax commodities trading to death.

bankrupt in the 80's. Yes, I'm the child of an 80's bankrupted family farm due to low grain prices brought on by big mega-farming, over-producing corporate grain farms.

Wanna wade thru the bullshit and try me again?

I've been to hell and back with this topic.

Have you?
