We Bailed out the banks, and all I got was this stupid t-shirt

Nearly a year after Congress authorized hundreds of billions of dollars to bailout the financial industry, major banks continue to pay outrageous salaries and bonuses, drive layoffs and foreclosures and spend millions lobbying against the interests of working people. Corporations and the wealthy continue to receive tax-breaks and public subsidies, but fail to create quality jobs for working people or pay their fair share.


Rallies across the country will condemn economic recovery for the “bailout bandits” and “corporate criminals” at Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo. Actions will call for an end to outrageous subsidies to corporations and demand an economic recovery to provide quality jobs, health care, and housing for working people. In Buffalo, the Coalition for Economic Justice’s action will be focused on the failures of New York’s economic development programs, notably its Empire Zone and Industrial Development Agencies.

Let's continue to let our voices be heard and our message to be clear-BAILING OUT BANKS IS NOT A COMPLETE STEP TOWARDS ECONOMIC RECOVERY!
