Subject:GOVERNMENT BY THE CORPORATIONS
PLEASE ELECT EITHER:
A government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the
corporations
(The Republican Party will do that for you.)
Or
A government of the people, by the people, for the people
Big brother is watching you. No, that's not a warning—the corporations
know what they wish to know about you. The warning: Corporation will
own you. They already own the politicians, who will legislate the
ultimate possession of you for them.
Here is a typical example:
CORPORATE DICTATORSHIP
Senate turned down Amendment proposed by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
making it illegal for contractors to overcharge or cheat the government.
No surprise. It has been legal for corporations to cheat the
government and the Senate intends to keep it that way. Corporations
have Congress' blessing, we will see an increase in cheating! You and
I have paid for it and will pay yet more in the future.
The 2003 average corporate tax was only 6%. The burden was on
individuals. Congress reduced the corporate taxes by another $140
Billion! You and I pick up the slack.
Tax cuts: the politicians promised us would create jobs. They enriched
the rich, reduced government spending that would otherwise have
created jobs for you and me. These excess corporate earnings are now
handed over as bonuses to the rich corporate officers. Promoting
outsourcing and increasing immigration creates a weak demand for
working people, making the people submissive to the corporations.
Employee earnings have declined over 9%. Job security remains precarious.
Congress made it illegal for Medicare to negotiate drug prices. They
also made it illegal to import drugs. This hampers competition and
will considerably increase the prices we all pay for drugs.
This Congress does not enforce antitrust laws. Many small oil
companies have been bought up or merged, resulting in reduced
competition and higher prices. Go buy gas while you can afford it.
The rich are enriched, the middle class reduced.
This link shows that every Republic voted to promote cheating.
