Because when it comes to government-corporate realtionships President Obama is rank amateur compared to just about every Republican politician in Washington.

Afghanistan
Crappy neutered stimulous
Not investigated the Bush administration
Intervened in other countries investigations of the Bush Admin for war crimes.


Obama has done everything Big Business and the wealthy want him to do.

Crappy corporate healthcare reform
Bailed out Wall St saif F-U to Main St
Cut capital gains
Exposed social security to extinction
Lowered the estate tax
Continued wars for the sake of natural resources
Let BP off with a slap on the wrist.

Now with all that said. Big business has rewarded him with FOX NEWS , the tea-party and big business whining that he is stfling their growth. Seems to me the Dow went from 8k back up to 11 or 12k under Obama though the middle class is seeing none of that money. He has done everything THEY want and they still hate him lol. I wonder why ha ha its hilarious, but Big business and corporate media could reward him yet with say a Presidential challenge from Sarah Palin.

Facism isnt just a word most Tea-Partiers cant spell or don't understand lol its now our system of government.
So well said

Here Here To the Chief

I remember all the talk when JFK was assassinated. They believed financiers did him in. No one in office is allowed to say no to a bank. Took America a long time to catch it's breath but people still see so much illness danced around for generations. Then republicans dispensed with every last pretense of who they worked for and why.

So maybe it's time citizens just be straightforward. Walk into Chase bank with a pocket full of monopoly money with your hands held high like you're being robbed. Then deliver that money to the teller and run for your life. Repeat the same at citibank, BofA, on down the line.

I'm not talking poor people out of trouble anymore. I'm perfectly content to step out of the way and let them eat the rich.

No EPA
No USDA
No transportation department
No department of education
No social security
No labor laws
No Medicare
No public libraries or museums
No nothing

Privatise the
Roads
Police Fire department
All public utilities
The military
Intelligence gathering
Everything


Lets take this experiment all the way right. Lets see where it takes us. I got my land, Ammo food and set up in case it doesnt work out too well. Im ready.

Im just tired!!! YOU PEOPLE wont learn until youve hit rock bottom like a battered wife that has to damn near be killed before deciding to learn her lesson.

Lets get it on


Wonder how long before you figure out how the corporations are waiting for this.
I argee with your strategy. You can't win an argument by resisting what your opponent wants. They will keep saying "But we haven't even tried our way"!

The only way for people to see anything won't work is to let they have what they want.

The American system serves well as the epitome of corruption.

Agree with most of this, except at this point you got to keep SS and Medicare but you can allow opt out and major reform,Start phasing it out. You cant privatize the military or intelligence gathering. Everything else...........
