The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen

Look at her. She’s beautiful. She encapsulates everything we fight for, everything we as progressives do to make change, this is the reason. If everyone in the world saw her, we would have no problem winning in 2012. It takes everything Republicans have twisted over the last 40 years and shows it for the ridiculousness it is:

  • Trickle down economics was a complete and utter failure.
  • The wealth created under Reagan only helped the rich.
  • Workers are not payed based on how well their company does, only their CEO’s do.
  • To say the Rich need to pay their fair share is not class warfare.
  • Lowering taxes for the rich does not help the middle class.

Shes just so beautiful, and we as progressives have been trying to show her to anyone who’s willing. This is way I love Occupy Wall Street, despite the fact that I disagree with the protesters on almost everything they believe economically. They are bringing attention to this graph, to the ideas that are held within this graph, and showing it to the world.

Keep on fighting the good fight guys.
