34. come on, you're going to make some modern corporate robber baron
Edited on Wed Nov-30-11 02:05 PM by newspeak
dream of the good old days. It's not as bad, yet, as the great depression. But, don't worry, we're getting there. You've got the repukes again, wistfully wishing for the good old days where there were no safety standards, the plebes working seven days a week 10-12 hour days for slave wages, children working along with their parents with little or no education and big business running the show. Ah, the good old days. See, we're in this financial mess because the global corporations don't have enough chance to pour their love on the little people-we need to get rid of all regulations for that to happen.

Many people abandoned their children during the depression, families were displaced and homeless, people starved and suicide (especially those who lost their jobs-not the wealthiest) committed suicide. It seems we don't learn from history--I do believe that this financial disaster has been deliberately created. To me, it has to do with that new world order thing, where corporations gain even more power at the expense of people and countries. The big bloated fish (big banks) swallowing even more of the little fish--becoming even more of a giant global power monster.
