Was it that they didn't know it?
If the USA House is looking for divine intervention with the economy, they have to look no further than #Occupy, because the movement is working hard and suffering adversity to remove the money changers from the country.
No need for a thank you, either. Great patriots would have done it anyway.
…Senator Tom Harkin, (click here) an Iowa Democrat, and Representative Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, will introduce the bills tomorrow in their respective chambers. The bills will give the United States an increased role in the international debate over a transaction tax, which is likely to be discussed at the Group of 20 summit this week in Cannes, France.
“It’s a significant way to raise some needed revenue,” Harkin said in an interview today in Washington. “Quite frankly, I bet nobody would even feel it.”
The European Union in September proposed a financial- transaction tax that would take effect in 2014 and raise about $57 billion euros ($78 billion) a year. Germany and France have led a push for global implementation….
And in regard to the Visitor Center that is actually a fallout shelter for Congress, I like "E Pluribus Unum" better. "In God We Trust" is alienating to people that are of a different understanding. A visitor center should be inclusive and not exclusive. All the great patriotic movements in the USA, including the civil rights movement, found strength and influence in a common understanding, common ground if you will. Of many comes one. That is the USA, to every person within its borders.

If corporations are to be considered persons as the Roberts' court would see it, then they are among the wealthy in the USA and need to be taxed to their income levels as any citizen would be. The Super Committee needs to use the Simpson-Bowles Tax Restructuring Model to effect sincere changes in the revenues of the USA.
