<div class="">I want to propose an action which may well bear no fruit, but so what.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm ticked off at the reverse Robin Hood tax scam which our US Rep Davis is surely going to vote for, probably on Tuesday.<br class="">
<br class="">
Proposal: whoever can, gather at Davis' office - say at <b class="">noon on Monday, tomorrow the 18th,
</b>unless someone has a better suggestion.<b class=""><br class="">
</b><br class="">
Previous gatherings have mostly been rallies outside on the parking lot. Instead I propose to pack the office, as people did for the health care bill. About ten people can squeeze in, and if more come they can be in the hallway. I'm not proposing a sit-in,
not risking arrest, just an uncomfortably large number of people coming to say we want Davis to vote Hell No and not sell out our future for the sake of wealthy people and corporate profits, and stick around for maybe a half hour or an hour or until they throw
us out.<br class="">
<br class="">
Problem: I may well be unable to be there myself (expecting a yet-to-be-scheduled work meeting, which I'll be unable to skip, may get scheduled for that hour).
<br class="">
<br class="">
There's lots of source material, but here's a middle-of-the-road article from Bloomberg of all places saying, basically, that corporate America doesn't need the money, and naming things that we do need -- "The largest economic challenges we face include a skills
crisis that our public schools are not addressing, crumbling infrastructure that imperils our global competitiveness, wage stagnation coupled with growing wealth inequality, and rising deficits that will worsen as more baby boomers retire. The tax bill does
nothing to address these challenges. In fact, it makes each of them worse."<br class="">
