Think about that for a minute.. The large businesses and multi-national corporations the GOP lauds and holds up as examples of success and risk taking and entrepreneurship actually function just like the liberals the GOP claims to despise..

A truly poor guy wants a handout? Hey, fuck that guy! Socialism!!!! Right?

I mean, we generally agree that this man should get a job if he is able, and pay his own way.. That it's proper and good for him to do this.. That he has a responsibility to get a job and work if he is able.. Correct?

That this is necessary from an economic standpoint (Because, after all, someone has to work and pull the cart.. Sitting in it isn't fair if you're capable of pulling and helping) Also, we agree that it's good for American society.. Lest we lapse into an entitlement mentality, and lose the motivation to work and excel..

So we all agree here? Good!

Now consider the Mega Corp.. Unlike this poor guy, they will use their own profits to secure more profits. They'll cut deals. They'll work to shift the regulatory environment in their favor. They'll pollute, they'll collude.. Basically, they'll do anything for a buck today. Especially a government buck! Because they have a printing press! So the bucks never stop.. In the absence of gov bucks and contracts, they'll just get government to pass a law saying we have to hand them OUR BUCKS.. (Which a Republican Justice just upheld!!) They've tried very hard to sell us all into carbon, and other forms, of slavery... and they've done all of this happily.

I mean, let's just be honest.. If the Federal fucking Government wanted to head chip us all tomorrow, they'd bid on the contract with ZERO concern for the good of society, the rule of law or anything else..

So, why is it that companies like GE are never targeted by the republicans when they arrive in power?

Because, unlike the poor guy above, they've got money to donate to campaigns.


So, let's drop this worship of big business. When it comes to begging for handouts, they act more like liberals (and are more effective at it) than poor liberals themselves.

They aren't protectors of liberty.. All too often, they aren't testaments to the power of anything but corruption.

Once they grow so large, they behave just like liberals.. And I hate that.

There should be some retribution here..

youre wrong about the second part. the multi national corps dont make a profit, or they do but it is fractionaly minute. they survive because of the multi billion dollar loans they get from rich financiers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THEY ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THE REGULATORY AND

TAX STRUCTURE TO ADVANTAGE THEMSELVES...

AS A MATTER OF SURVIVAL.


PROLES HAVE NO INPUT.....EXCEPT THEIR VOTE.

THE CONGRESS INJECTS POLTICS INTO BUSINESS...

ON PURPOSE, I THINK... THEY PUT THEMSELVES IN THE WAY OF

CORPORATIONS, AND DEMAND TRIBUTE AND OBEDIANCE TO PASS.



WE THE PEOPLE OUGHT TO PUT A STOP TO THAT.

[ARKLqAZ6]

A company like GE should feel the heat..

They literally tried to sell us into carbon slavery.. and they did it for a buck.

Just like a liberal to eschew honest profits and good faith for a fast $buck$ from Uncle Sam..

I'd like to see the Republicans become a bit LESS "business" and a bit more "Market"

Because the market is where there's supposed to be competition.. Supporting an individual business is cronyism.

Or the contracts they bribe from our government.. Meaning, us and our kids.

IT TAKES TWO TO EFFECT A BRIBE...


OR TO MAKE A SWEETHEART DEAL.

KIND OF LIKE SEX....


THE POWER IS IN THE CONGRESS, LEGITIMATE AND


OTHERWISE... THE CORPS ARE SUPPLICANTS....


HIGHER PROFILE THAN SOME, BUT SUPPLICANTS

ALL THE SAME.

[Rapiddude]

Money from Uncle Sam, spends better.

For example:

If I work for 10 bucks an hour, 40 hours a week, I might bring home 350 or so.......I'll cherish that 350, and pay my rent, and keep food and fuel on hand.

However, if for some reason Uncle Sam just GIVES me 350 a week........Fuck it......I'll have a big screen, a great cell phone package, an Xbox, and I'll see you at the club.

Some of those guys would sell us into slavery.. Came frighteningly close to accomplishing just that..

They want to wrap us up into a treaty..

I don't care why they did it.. It's not honest money.

It's getting rich by enslaving us all.

look at WMT profit margin. all that for two cents on the dollar? theyre making up somewhere else.

CREATURES LIKE RAHM EMANUEL MOVE FROM

CORPORATE SUITES TO THE HALLS OF CONGRESS

AND BACK LIKE THE RATS AND WEASLES THEY ARE.

[MartZubok]

If we all just followed our own narrow self interest, without any regard for the common good and the consequences of our actions.. America wouldn't be here in the form it is today..

It wouldn't look a bit like it does..

Why is this responsibility not incumbent on profit seeking corporations?

We need profit and sustenance too..

And I agree that it's bad when individuals put their own narrow self interest ahead of the nation and their neighbors..

But it's just as bad when these corps do it..

Sadly Klein, that's not an uncommon thing.

The halls are full of such rats.

IT IS... AND A CORRUPT CONGRESS IS AN INDISPENSABLE

PART OF THE SCHEME.....

WHICH ONE OF MANY REASONS WHY WE NEED TO

EJECT THIS ROTTEN CONGRESS.

[TagBahthuff]

I forget who said that our Constitution was only suitable for a moral people..

This is one of those moral issues that fits the statement perfectly..

An immoral people, either individuals who are immoral.. Or individuals organized into corporations that behave in an immoral way while profit seeking, are equally dangerous.

[altosburg]

OUR CURRENT CONGRESS WELCOMES THE ATTENTION

OF RATS AND WEASLES OF EVERY SORT... SO LONG AS THEY ARE USEFUL

TO CONGRESS'S AIMS AND AMBITIONS.


TIME WAS, SOME AMERICAN CORPORATIONS COLLUDED WITH

CORRUPT LOCAL GOVERNMENT/DICTATORS TO ROB AND OPPRESS THE PEOPLE

OF VARIOUS BENIGHTED NATIONS.


NOWADAYS, SOME CORPORATIONS COLLUDE WITH OUR OWN

ROTTEN, RENEGADE GOVERNMENT TO ROB AND OPPRESS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.




IT GETS BACK TO THE SAME THING I KEEP REPEATING:


WE URGENTLY NEED TO FIRE THIS ROTTEN, CORRUPT, RENEGADE CONGRESS.

[ceagstuntee]

Like: When you got out and get a job... and you profit seek.

We call that good, right?

Unless you start voting for free shit from your neighbor.. and then That's bad.

Both are profit seeking, but in the latter case, you're putting your own narrow self interest ahead of everyone else.. You are looking to gain at their expense..

Which is immoral behavior.

That's what they tried to do to us with the carbon thing..

OUR NATION IS A RICH AND POWERFUL ONE.

WE HAVE A DUTY TO OURSELVES AND TO THE

WORLD TO POLICE OUR CONGRESS AND

ALL THE AGENTS THEREOF.


IT IS A MORAL DUTY, AS MUCH AS A FIDUCIARY ONE...

AND A MATTER OF LIFE AND LIBERTY FOR OURSELVES

AND OTHERS FAR BEYOND OUR SHORES.

FIRE THESE ROTTEN BASTARDS!

FIRE THEM IN 2012!
