EIN: 20-0031641) The legendary folksinger and anti-fascist Woody Guthrie sang: "Some will rob you with a six ­gun / And some with a fountain pen." In the many decades since Guthrie wrote "The Ballad of Pretty Boy Floyd" in 1939, some things haven't changed. The men and women robbing us with pens have become more numerous, massively enlarging the amount of their plunder and acquiring more political clout and immunity from accountability. "Steal big" might be the most apt slogan for Wall Street and the global institutions that can bring down the economy with nary a repercussion. Meanwhile, the people who, out of desperation, rob with a handgun for just a few bucks end up in the punitive mass ­incarceration system. At Truthout and BuzzFlash, on a daily basis we expose the hypocrisy and immorality of a government that essentially rewards larceny committed by the wealthiest, while mercilessly devastating the lives of those who are forced to steal to survive. Help us continue to provide you with information and news that will end the theft of hard-­earned dollars on an epic scale and the double standard of our injustice system.
