...yes, the "Big Business" you bash is Democrat, where have you been??
Retail, Food, Energy, Service, basically ALL CEO's report to the BIGGEST Business of all, Wall Street, in order to appease their shareholder's persona...

despite the media trying to tell you otherwise..the big "Republican" business you refer to is in fact, Democrat.

you've been had.






oh and that "Finance Bill" of a joke...

Goldman ‘Should Win Big’ Under New Regulations
Goldman 'Should Win Big' Under New Regulations - NYTimes.com

coincidence??


I wonder how much Obama and this Administration was paid off by the largest DEMOCRAT banks with Main St's money??

nice to see "big business" (lol) Republican local credit unions and mom and pop S&L shops take a beating by way of monopolization/m&a by the"HUMONGOUS business" DEMOCRAT brokerage houses..




...and you still think Democrats are the poor and middle class while Republicans are the uber-wealthy??

seems you drank the Dems' kool-aid of portraying themselves as "poor/middle class." Hope your bank fees and interest won't rise too much, as your taxes weren't enough.

the unions spend money on politics because it yeilds them a nice return on their investment. its ridiculous for people to criticize unions based on the money they spend. if they dont like it, work on solving the problem that every single politician and all of their individual votes are bought by somebody. everything a politician does is paid for by some special interest. everything, every politician. we see it as corruption and they see it as their job. but we all really know but conveniently forget. i mean what are we supposed to believe the job of lobbyist is? they are people that help funnel the money to the right politicians and help politicians find people looking to funnel money to them for their services. thats what politics is.

Yes this is all very very strange. Imagine a union lobbying to actually benefit their members. Wow who has heard of such things. I thought EVERYONE was in it for the good of all. I guess I was wrong.

A CEO, a tea party member, and a union worker are all sitting at a table when a plate with a dozen cookies arrives. Before anyone else can make a move, the CEO reaches out to rake in eleven of the cookies. When the other two look at him in surprise, the CEO locks eyes with the tea party member. “You better watch him,” the executive says with a nod toward the union worker. “He wants a piece of your cookie.”

Hey I'm with you, I think the GM and Chrysler bailouts were a big mistake.

I think the only ones that should care what they spend money on is the teachers who are funding it.
