US Corporations have been the cause of many murders, political unrest, and many other unsavory actions in foreign governments for a long, long time. Look at the history of Hawaii and how Dole overthrew the government there to get favorable manufacturing conditions.

US Corporations do create jobs but they also cause an extreme amount of suffering for millions of people around the world. Anybody who doesn't realize this is not looking at the "big picture".

I think the Nazis qualify as terrorists ... Hitler terrorized the entirety of Europe ... but since you don't agree ... tell us all how the Nazis didn't terrorize the Jews ... the Poles .. the Czechs ... the French ... the British ... tell us how the V-1 and the Luftwaffe's bombing of cities all across Europe didn't terrorize the peoples of Europe? Or how the Gestapo didn't terrorize the German people?

I suppose you're one of those "only A-Rabs can be terrorists" types ... that's the only explanation for why you can't see the actions of Hitler's Nazi Germany as a reign of terror upon the world.

They herd us like cattle with laws, rules, regulations and taxes
Yeah but what gripes me, is that the laws, rules, regulations and taxes, to steer us all in the right direction, are so quickly broken, by those making the rules.

Strawman argument.. We arent fighting Nazis.. And Nazis had nothing to do with destroying our economy in 2008 which is what the OP is discussing..

Thanks for going into lala land though with your response..
