19.10.2005 "Sostenibile, sociale, solidale". Sono le tre priorità della Controfinanziaria della campagna "Sbilanciamoci!” per contrastare la Finanziaria 2006 improntata sulle "tre D": debole, demagogica e soprattutto dannosa perché toglie ossigeno ai servizi sociali e all'ambiente. Dall'annuale rapporto di Sbilanciamoci! si apprende che con gli stessi soldi sprecati in bonus e una tantum si può assicurare la costruzione di 3000 asili nido o un'integrazione al reddito di 516 euro per tutti i disoccupati di lunga durata. "Si tratta di scelte diverse, alternative alla beneficenza compassionevole del governo, a favore del riconoscimento dei diritti di cittadinanza" - nota Sbilanciamoci. E mostra come recuperare risorse: “reinserimento della tassa di successione (1,2 miliardi), tassazione delle rendite al 23% (2 miliardi), prelievo fiscale minimo sul fatturato per le imprese senza ricavi (2,5 miliardi)”. Anziché tagliare la sanità e i rasferimenti agli enti locali, recuperare 5,5 miliardi di euro abrogando il fondo speciale per le missioni all'estero e riducendo del 20% le spese militari complessive. Con una petizione online Sbilanciamoci! chiede al Governo di cambiare rotta.

06.10.2005 How would I define empowerment? Empowerment per se means when people are not dependent on others, when they are self-sufficient. There was a time when as children we wrote essays on IndiaÂ’s food problem. There was food shortage at that time. But then came a revolutionary programme and we are now self-sufficient in food and are in fact actually exporting food. You could perhaps call this empowerment.
