Amen.
That is awesome stuff right there. Will read more when I have more time, but what I have read is just excellent, a modern case study in why our economy is bogged down.
I agree 100%. I read the entire 24-part series a while ago...during the course of several days. Jenk did an OUTSTANDING job of showing an in depth study the tactics used by socialists/out-state activists/environmentalists/our own government agency-bureaucracy/czars. I posted on the state message board that if FReepers had an award, she would definitely deserve it.
Corporate America is winning.... they already employ lawyers, accountants, and politicians to maintain compliance. The little guy who does it themselves does not stand a chance in todays environment.
It appears to me that socialism is winning.
GE pays no taxes and their CEO travels with the President and gets invited to advisory boards. The Government all but owns GM to support an unrealistic union wage structure. The same union that solely supports one political party.
The corporation was the same way except i am sure they never made any profit.
I do not have any argument as far as some of the big corporations are concerned, i am sure there are one worlders or socialist or what ever you call them that are using the power of the corporations to get what they want.
My only objection is that people are using this well known fact to make capitalism look like an evil system when it is nothing more than a natural instinct for free men, since the beginning of civilization.
The conservatives will vote to keep the democrat socialists out of the white house, and the liberals will vote for a democrat because they will promise to take away from the rich and give to the poor.
Both sides are a bunch of crooks, with exceptions but do all of the whiners go to the polls and vote? no, so many of them would not even know which one of the candidates was a republican and which one was a democrat.
Also, no one likes big Government but if you mention abolishing the I.R.S or the A.T.F people will look at you like you were crazy or will just ignore you. we need those to agency’s like we need leprosy, and a hell of a bunch more we don,t need.
As far as G.E and GMC not to mention others which i am sure there is and the government is concerned, maybe you just don,t realize how much i hate it.
We are on the same side there for sure.
No, its not socialism or corporations either. The answer is the fasces concept. The proper name is fascism. (No, not the NAZI or evil right-winger kind.) The early description of fascism was a strongly coordinated relationship between government and business. FDR absolutely loved the concept. And as we spiral into another Democratic President inspired economic depression, history seems to be repeating itself.
There are only two types of Government, one is Government by the people which this is supposed to be, and the other is Government over the people which this has become.
Names are many but it is either Freedom or tyranny. and i have no argument about you saying corporate America is winning unless it is being used to slur capitalism which is not a system but only a natural occurrence between free men.
