Reply #68: "hanging on by our fingertips"

because Little Boots deregulated his best buds, especially Wall Street and corporations got tax breaks with no incentives for innovation or hiring here. They got tax breaks while outsourcing our jobs because they are no american companies any longer. And Little Boots, like trickle on Reagan, attempted, early in his selection, to break the dockworkers union. Since Reagan, labor unions have gone down hill, and the corporations that want cheap exploitive labor can go where they please and we still cater to them.

If the neocons have their way it will be perpetual war where the war profiteering sociopaths will make even more money, while our social safety net is decimated when those who have no decent job or no job can just starve in the street for all they care. We will be the slaves--it's something that publicly has been stated by poppy "sleaze" bush and Kissenger--it's the New World Order. And, I wonder if people can imagine a time when governments mean nothing, where huge global corporations have so much power that they supersede any kind of democracy or the will of the people. And many of these global corporations are sociopathic by nature because it all comes down to profit--some do not care who they poison or what they do to the environment as long as they make a buck. Our money flows into private coffers to perpetuate war for stealing resources and setting up, in some instances not democracies, but any despot who will tow the corporate line.

And, as can be seen by some of the incidence with privatization, it is not good for our democracy--when you have a judge who sends children to a private facility on minor infractions because he gets a kickback, it becomes business as usual. Or if you privatize part of the military and the services are done on the cheap and our soldiers are poisoned and killed--those corporations still get our money, most times without accountability.

And now we have the corporate sponsored teabaggers-they're just repugs who had to find a different way to sell themselves-but more on the non-empathic crazy side. And they are funded by the corporations, they are for corporations and for privatizing the rest that has not been given away by Little Boots. Oh, and while you're suffering and can't find a job, they want to make sure you suffer big time, by taking away unemployment or any other social program that will help those who are suffering.
