Imagine those whining liars, they have taken so much, from so many, including lives.  Yet, this STILL is not enough.  It is time for THE PEOPLE to STAND UP, all the people of the world.

From Global Research:

“Anti-trust laws have lost all power since the transnational corporations set the norms. It is the corporations – not “the market” as an anonymous mechanism or “invisible hand” – that determine today’s rules of trade, for example prices and legal regulations. This happens outside any political control. Speculation with an average 20% profit margin (Altvater 2005) edges out honest producers who become “unprofitable”. Money becomes too precious for comparatively non-profitable, long-term projects, or projects that “only” – how audacious! – serve a good life. Money instead “travels upwards” and disappears. Financial capital determines more and more what the markets are and do (Altvater/Mahnkopf 1996). In fact, it has by now – through Nixon’s separation of the dollar from the gold standard in 1971 – “emancipated” from productive capital und forms its own “fiscal bubble” multiplying the money volume that is covered by the production of the many (Lietaer 2006, Kennedy 1990). Moreover, these days most of us are – exactly like all governments – in debt. It is financial capital that has all the money – we have none (Creutz 1995).

The consequences of neoliberalism are:

Small, medium, even some bigger enterprises are pushed out of the market, forced to fold or swallowed by transnational corporations because their performances are “below average” in comparison to speculation – rather: spookulation – wins. The public sector, which has historically been defined as a sector of not-for-profit economy and administration, is “slimmed” and its “profitable” parts (“gems”) handed to corporations (“privatized”). As a consequence, social services that are necessary for our existence disappear. Small and medium private businesses – which, until recently, employed 80% of the workforce and provided “normal working conditions” – are affected by these developments as well. The alleged correlation between economic growth and secure employment is false. Where economic growth only means the fusion of businesses, jobs are lost (Mies/Werlhof 2003, p. 7ff);

If there are any new jobs, most are “precarious”, meaning that they are only available temporarily and badly paid. One job is usually not enough to make a living (Ehrenreich 2001). This means that the working conditions in the North become akin to those in the South and the working conditions of men akin to those of women – a trend diametrically opposed to what we have always been told. Corporations now leave for the South (or East) to use cheap – and particularly female – labor without “union affiliation”. This has already been happening since the 1970s in the “Free Production Zones” (FPZs, “world market factories” or “maquiladoras”), where most of the world’s computer chips, sneakers, clothes and electronic goods are produced (Fröbel/Heinrichs/Kreye 1977). The FPZs lie in areas where century-old colonial-capitalist and authoritarian-patriarchal conditions guarantee the availability of the cheap labor needed (Bennholdt-Thomsen/Mies/Werlhof 1988). The recent shift of business opportunities from consumer goods to armaments is a particularly troubling development (Chossudovsky 2003).”

A lengthy article, in fact I haven’t quite finished it myself.  But, it certainly appears relevant.  Stand up America.  These folks don’t give a RAT’S ASS about small businesses or the employees of their own transnational entities.  In fact, they’d PREFER you weren’t around.  That’s WHY they endorse “free trade” or “neoliberal economic doctrine”.  For them it’s simply money in the bank.  Endorse unionization and let the shit fly where it may.  But don’t take my word for it.

Lest we forget.

Vote Nader

This purely more of that monster’s, milton friedman, disasterous economic policy. Of course business will ‘win’, they have paid for it. A fine tuning of totally unfettered, unaccountable economics for the rich 1 or 5 percent that are horribly inconvinenced, with missing a nickel of their free money.
And also, we the people are going to bail out freddie mac and fannie mae so the rich won’t have to cough up the money THEY rightfully should loose in a true capitalist world. And through the threat of ‘things will be a lot worse’ if the governement doesn’t take over these too corrupt, worthless money pits to protect the rich, then the ‘elites’ that have made bad stupid and criminal decisions and should loose their money and possibly go to jail, don’t go the way of the dodo as they should.
Classic, Classic example of how the UNFAIR, NON ACCOUNTABLE economic system for the ‘elites’ buttfucks the people at every turn. No win-win situation here and when you hear someone say it’s a ‘win-win’ situation you better tighten your pants.
Here’s a link about the take over of F.mac and F.mae:

“This is a David-and-Goliath confrontation, but we believe we’ll have enough stones in the sling to knock this out.”

>> So I guess the question here is….who ARE the stones in the sling.  We may want to contact these people and let them know that the American People do not favor their endorsement of corporate bullying.

I always like Mr. Sirota’s posts, I am glad he appears here.

You would think that with all the money that corporations are making, and giving away to politicians that American corporations would be sitting on top of the world.

However, this is not the case. U.S. corporations are failing, ironically because of the very deregulation they pushed through Washington.

Because they aren’t smart enough to compete against the rest of the world. In the US they continue to exist only because our government does their bidding.

If this bill does not pass then look for more corporate bail outs give aways and prop ups, financed by the US tax payer.

It will mean the end of our corporations, and the beginning of Foreign ownership, that might be for the best.

These groups have been doing this since the days when they banned children working in coal mines and factories and stopped them sending three year old boys up chimneys to clean them. Yes, it’s all true: they actually used to do these things. Such good, God fearing people as we know they all are. Their constant cry of ‘poor us’ falls on deaf ears with me. A more ruthless bunch of people never drew breath and the pity of it is, that the literal Goliath, the workers of America are so misled and divided their power is untapped and these monsters get away with murder. In some cases, literally. In coal mines and in the health insurance sector being only two examples. Corporate America hates democracy. That’s always been the problem. And they know that if the sleeping giant of the American working class ever awakes their days of robber baron brutality will be over. Keeps them awake at night, poor babies.

So, it is the “working peoples’ own fault”, eh? Sound like a good excuse to let the Dem Party off teh hook for failing to do anything for the poor since Johnson! Working class people are not stupid. When you think about it, that is a really stupid remark! They are a HUGE core constituency of the Dem Party (or, they used to be). The union folk adn mnufacturing workers were sold down the river, by both parties. Some of these people do not have the time nor the $$ to search the net for political answers. Clinton’s “welfare reform” sealed the pact with middle class American’s to “wage war on the poor”. In an “ownership society”, they DO strike back with the cliched “god and guns”. Offer them an alternative, Dems. Be specific. And then, stick to it.Otherwise, you simply look like you’re blaming the victims adn finding excuses as to why the “party of hte people” , doesnt do better with the “people”.Or, plan on throwing away a bunch of votes agin.

Fascism defined:  Large corporations become extensions of government and government authority becomes centralized in one person.

Would Americans get a wee bit uncomfortable if they knew that their country is fast becoming a fascist state? It’s about time we get the word out there.

Could we start calling thing What they Really Are?
‘Trickle Down’ = Shit rolls down hill
Pro Life= ProBirth Only- for the rest of Life,  It’s f*cked
‘Privatization’= Corp Wind fall Profits and Power
‘Family Values’= White peoples Fears about Diversity& Loss of Power
‘Faithful’= ideolgically blinded by idolic Preachers, ‘Me First, I’m Special’
‘Patriotism’= what ever the Rich people tell you it is- so shut up and sit down
“Reagan Democrat”= Corp Whore/Neo CON in Blue

Ohhh the list goes on and on,BS deceptive and patronizing Rhetoric.Esp Love the Misnomer/ Oxymoronic names they give their Organizations and their Legislation ‘Patriot Act’???? Please!

When will the people find that the chamber of commerce is nothing but a mouthpiece for corporations? The workers of Amerika have been treated so badly and mainly it is their own fault. They voted for Reagan, the great union buster, in great numbers. Even the AFL and Machinists union bosses endorsed Reagan. Time for workers to re-take their unions and throw the corrupt bosses out and organize, organize and organize.
