This year, Veterans Day should be a day for all of us — all 99 percent of us — to stand with the 1 percent. Not, as Jim Hightower writes, the "corporate CEOs and hedge fund billionaires," but the "extra-special 1 percent of our society" who are also part of the 99 percent: the veterans of our most recent, most misguided wars, as well as those before. As Hightower said, let it not be a day to merely salute our veterans, but to stand with them and rally with them, as they have already done for us.....
Our vets come home to the country they volunteered to serve to find an economy that has no place for them and no regard for their service
Our veterans come home to face an economic crisis while also bearing the physical and mental scars of war
Since 2010, conservatives have sought to cut legal services for veterans, eliminate 10,000 housing vouchers for homeless veterans, and slash disability benefits for veterans.
It's about time our elected officials did more for veterans, but these modest proposals fall far short of the kind of help that over 850,000 unemployed veterans need.
Our veterans deserve better. This Veterans Day, let's stand up with and for veterans — our worthy 1 percent — and demand better.
