Their message is: “Here in the United States, our focus will be on the huge portion of U.S. taxes that go to the military budget. Our call for 2011 is: No Taxation Without Demilitarization!” http://demilitarize.org/

Hosted by Eric Byler & Annabel Park, co-founders of the Coffee Party. This show will start w/ listeners calling. Have coffee with Ryan Clayton, one of the founders of US Uncut, and Mark Miller, a Coffee Party member who is critical of this approach. Inspired by UK Uncut, an anti-austerity grassroots action campaign, US Uncut is trying to change the debate over the deficit and budget. Instead of focusing on cutting spending, we should be focused on raising revenue from corporate tax dodgers and closing loopholes. They have taken some confrontational direct action. But is it the right method and strategy for challenging this plutocracy? www.usuncut.org & www.uncutus.org
