Who fucked us?

[salinen]

- Who shipped our jobs overseas looking for the cheapest labor and that wouldn't ask for health care?
- Who started 2 unnecessary wars?
- Who gave all the accumulated wealth directly to the banks, wall street, and the insurance companies?
- Who denied us affordable drugs by allowing big pharma to prevail?
- Who is defiling the environment?
- Who is denying civil rights to GLBT?
- Who is inciting hatred of the other?
- Who is going to pocket our stolen social security?
- Who caused all our manufacturing to move overseas?

I know who didn't do any of these. Us. And now we (Us) will go back to the cause of all this suffering, and ask them to please treat us like decent humans. What will the answer be?

1. The majority this country deserved McCain and the depression

that would have resulted with his policies. Perhaps then people would fight for change, like the French do.

[midnight]

2. K&R....

[lonestarnot]

3. Who is building private for profit industry to house all of us?

[MannyGoldstein]

4. 'Democrats' and Republicans are both responsible for most of those

For example, #1 really kicked into gear after Clinton pushed almost-free trade with China through Congress.

5. If you don't like Capitalism, change it.

The ruling class don't do anything the rest of us don't let them. It's U.S.-based Multinational Corporations that have done all the things you write about - their corporate officers and board members are on the public record. Pick a corporation, read it's annual report, and let them know how you feel.

There's a thousand legal, ethical ways you can disrupt their game.

If you don't like it, "Just do it."

[salinen]

8. Let the corporations know how I feel

You're kidding right?

[leveymg]

11. I'm entirely serious. Pick a corporation. Get creative.

Get involved in their local, state and federal permitting processes. Get together ten friends, each of whom buys a share of stock and attend their annual stockholder's meeting together. Research their operations, officers, and ownership, and let them know you know who they are and what they're up to. Make noise. Be a muckraker. Be sand in their gears and flies in their eyes.

One little mosquito buzzing around, flying just out of reach, can keep a grown man awake all night.

Just don't do nothing but gripe.

[salinen]

12. It's certainly an interesting strategy

Why not?

14. Remember the song, "Alice's Restaurant"?

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
:bounce: And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
sing it when it does. Here it comes.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

[Quantess]

6. Agreed.

[jotsy]

7. The same as it has been.

The PTB, the corporatocracy, illuminati, tri-lateral commission, the machine used to hide under rocks bearing a variety of labels. The hiding ended in January, courtesy of the Supreme Court.

We make no decisions, but always pay the price assigned by those that do.

[salinen]

9. Yep January

The last month of Democracy in the U.S.

[jotsy]

15. More of a fatal and final blow, actually.

First and deepest cut from which we were not allowed to regain our footing: December 8, 2000. Again, courtesy of the Supreme Court. Once installed by like mindeds and hunting buddies, the Bushcon took the baton from there, and black box voted the mirage of reelection and sealed the deal along with our fates.

Only we can turn this back. The machine has worked long and hard to see us dangling from the high side of a dormant sense of justice and aren't about to let us up.

Peace and may what ever deity you deem dear have mercy on the age of soulless men.

16. A follow up tune, from the mid 90's.

Bridge and last verse are the biggies here if pressed for time.

10. Nobody lately and it's getting really old!

13. The teabaggers are trying to fuck you

but that's probably not very satisfying.
