According to iamworkingamerica.org:
*Wages fell for both high school and college graduates from 2000 to 2009
*Wall Street's biggest banks pulled in more revenue in 2009-2010 than they ever have before.
*20 percent of people have 85 percent of the wealth. Everyone else-80 percent of people-have just 15 percent of America's wealth.
*Tax cuts usually go to the wealthy, who spend only a fraction of their tax breaks. That's why a dollar of tax cuts delivers less than 40 cents of economic growth. Meanwhile, corporations use tax loopholes to ship jobs overseas.
*Investments in infrastructure make businesses more productive. Every dollar of government spending on infrastructure boosts the economy by $1.20.
*Every dollar of unemployment insurance generates a whopping $1.90 of economic activity, because the money is quickly spent on things families need. That boosts sales at local businesses and creates jobs.
JOIN US AT THE RALLY ON THURSDAY APRIL 7 AND TAKE A STAND!!

For AFT retirees and others receiving Medicare, assistance in figuring out which Medicare Part D plan you should choose is available at www.medicareinteractive.org/teachers.
The “Medicare Interactive Counselor” is being made available to members by the AFT and the AFT-affiliated New York State United Teachers.
Because Medicare private drug plan (Part D) costs change every year, now is the time to review Medicare drug coverage options for 2010. Knowing the new rates can help Medicare recipients avoid surprise charges.
To learn more about the costs and coverage under Medicare Part D, or to find out how to qualify for extra help or a Medicare savings program, which will help pay for Medicare-related costs, log on to the Medicare Interactive Counselor at www.medicareinteractive.org/teachers. Medicare Interactive is a resource provided by the Medicare Rights Center, the largest independent source of health care information and assistance in the United States for people with Medicare.
