We have our share of the "Corporate welfare bums" here too. That phrase was coined by one of our greatest Prime Ministers when he was asked by the conservatives of the day why he was not more concerned about the people in Canada collecting social assistance. His answer was, "It's not Canadian people who need a helping hand I'm concerned about. It's the corporate welfare bums in this country that concern me".

This is one of the most astute things I've read here in a while.

When average people wait for government to run their lives, expect government to protect them from corporations and government themselves they are slaves.

Corporations spending billions to elect the people they want to protect their business, their actions, their legal and or economic responsiblity and they work together to create more government.

EXAMPLE GE, working with OBAMA and paying no taxes.

Nothing is fair and or balanced and should be the same tax for everyone no loop holes.

But that is the not the real problem.

EASY CREDIT, LOSS OF JOBS, CORRUPTION AND GOD all come from a CENTRAL BANK called the FED.

Remove the income tax on people return freedom to the people, chain the government down to the constitution and you will watch the corporations will have little power in washington.

Government mandates what corporations want, they get your money then they hit you with taxes, programs and bais controls over the free market which give you limited choices and liberty.

Since you can't elect good people, government must be tied down to the constitution which will limited government and the bad people you elect.

People must make elected people responsible to their oath to follow the constitution.

They have ignore the constitution of which is the problem and given us a government that is over active and corrupt.
