So the big corporations can do openly what they are doing now secretly (well almost)-running the country. And not just our country, the world. With The Chamber of Commerce headquartered in India it is hard to believe that they have American worker's interests at heart.
Anyone reading please watch some non Fox TV, a little Dylan Ratigan, Huffington Post, just for one day. I listen to conservatives. Actually had an aha moment when I found out why people are willing to throw Social Security to Wall St-because they don't want their future on the whims of Congress. Indeed, the next Congress, if things go as predicted, will immediately work at whittling away at SS. So I can see that POV. I can honestly understand it. I don't want my income at the mercy of whatever yahoo gets elected either, but I dont want it in the hands of Wall ST either. That is why it would truly pay to watch DR or some other show so that you realize there is not much difference between government and Wall St. The safest place for your money is actually under your mattress.
It's not that I do not want a government, I just do not want a corrupt government. I want my trash picked up, roads to drive on, clean drinking water, police and fire departments, and hey it would be great if I could eat anything without having to fear bacteria, chemical, and/or glass contaminents in it.
So yes, we need a government, we just need one for the people and by the people. And those people who want government out of the way-just what do you think they want them out of the way of? To turn a completely blind eye to more sticking it to workers and consumers. Everyone just accepts blindly that wages need to come down. But they also accept that tax cuts will stimulate the economy. Well what do you think depressed wages do to the economy? The emphasis on tax cuts is just to try to eliminate the government, not to stimulate the economy. The corporations that run this country now don't give a rat's behind about this country's economy. They are too invested overseas.
Well at least there is talk of China doing something to alleviate the pay gaps there. It is sad to believe that the vast majority of Americans have been brainwashed to believe the corporations are good and are not going to screw them, they need to do away with what's left of our pitiful government not under control of the overlords in order for things to get better. Our only salvation will be when the Chinese revolt against their working conditions, and the Indians, and the South American, etc. Our labor movement cost a lot of lives, I imagine theirs will too. Too bad we could not use our experience to shake ourselves out of the daze and lead the world in this again.
