Of course most of us don't mind business ('the corporate elite') running things since they pay our salaries and pensions.

Except the issue isn't business, it's megabusiness, which supplies well less than half the jobs -- small businesses, which have no lobbying power, supply half the jobs, and another chunk is supplied by government including schools.

That money is invested, even if it is in banks, where money never 'sits' but is being loaned out for business, homes and the many other means of increasing money and its fluidity.

That's just it. It's NOT being loaned out. The banks are sitting on it because they're afraid if they loan it out they will lose it. Have you been following the news? Small business after small business have been folding because they can't get the short-term loans they depend on to do business. The fatcats, who own the banks, are sitting on the money supply and it ain't circulatin' around. And we will NEVER get out of this depression -- oops sorry, did I say depression? -- recession until it does.

The Republican agenda has now introduced a bill to abolish 11th and 12th grade and suggest kids should then attend prep schools if they have college plans.

Can you point me to a source on this? I'd love to use this as a stick against Republican friends.
