South America got raped by the Milton Friedman fanatics.

Russia got raped by the Milton Friedman men, when it should have been supported - goodbye democracy, hello totalitarianism!

Britain got raped by Thatcher.

Britain and Europe look like they're gonna get raped again?

Now it looks like its America's turn to get raped?!

Are you only looking to blame Ronald Reagan? I don't see what's wonderful about that simple answer. Sorry, Carrot, I respect you, totally. But we can't blame an actor for reading his lines. It's not a One side vs. the Other side issue, either, unless we are calling it Debtors vs Creditors. Read on.

You must first look at history. You can go back even further, but let's start with President Andrew Jackson in 1833, and the fascination with Speculation - it started waaay WAY before Ronny got to office. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Treasury It's only wikipedia, but look it up in different sources, you will find this factual.

Now, the Federal Reserve. What does it do? Why was it created? Why was the Independent Treasury ended in favor of the Fed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Syste...

Now if you are brave enough and want to dive into some really crazy deep water, read this. http://www.barefootsworld.net/usfraud.html All this can be researched in other sources. Here is the first paragraph, in case you don't want to have a look.

"Under the doctrine of Parens Patriae, "Government As Parent", as a result of the manipulated bankruptcy of the United States of America in 1930, ALL the assets of the American people, their person, and of our country itself are held by the Depository Trust Corporation at 55 Water Street, NY, NY, secured by UCC Commercial Liens, which are then monetized as "debt money" by the Federal Reserve. It may interest you to know that under the umbrella of the Depository Trust Corporation lies the CEDE Corporation, the Federal Reserve Corporation, the American Bar Association, the legal arm of the banking interests, and the Internal Revenue Service, the system's collection agency."

Everyone wants to blame Obama or the Bushs or Reagan or some other scapegoat. Do you really think that any of them actually do the job that they are getting credit (lol) for?

Forced Credit & manipulated Bankruptcy - some ones are getting very, very rich on it, and here is their family tree!

And your examples of such greedy corporate people are ? I'm sure you can bring up a few, but that doesn't even compare to how many there are in America.

All this talk about "we the people", justice, equality and etc. So where is your whining or anger in regards to how the government is raking American's over the coals ?

We had nearly a $1 Trillion robbery of the Treasury in the name of a stimulus bill, which didn't stimulate a damn thing. It also didn't create any jobs, yet the government wants to have more money stolen from the citizens of this country for to support a "jobs" bill.

What about the violation of the Constitution when the Democrats passed healthcare...which we won't see for 4 years and the mulutitudes of problems it brings being tallied as we pay for it now.

How about the pushing for Amnesty when 77% of America has said pretty clearly NO. But we hear obama thinking of using executive order to pass a pseudo amnesty until he has the votes in Congress to actually pass it.

What about how rich Congress is ? They're job does'nt pay that much, so they must be dipping thier fingers in the till somewhere.

Just how do you pick up corporate America to whine about when we've been experiencing the fall of America from the government's own hand. You whine about the big banks but it was government that set them up and forced them to make bad loans. A whole sector of the economy doesn't just fail all at once. That's government interference at work with lousy policy.

Where's your anger over this ? Or is it ok as long as its a left wing president doing it ?

I'm pretty sure the corporate greed mongers you refer to stand for good and sometimes great jobs that pay well and provide benefits while furnishing goods and services that we the people need or want and which we consume voluntarily. I'm also confident that the corporate greed mongers pay ample income and property taxes directly and indirectly while generating billions in sales taxes for state, local and federal governments.

If you want to take the position that the values you mention are the exclusive province of natural persons, then you are perfectly free to do so. This is America after all. But you would also be wrong.

Take care.

This is an erroneous statement masquerading as a question. The total value of all things American is about 46 trillion dollars. China holds about 2 billion in US Treasury bills.

When the American citizen decided they wanted to be led and live on credit cards. Americans are credit rich and property and history poor... but they have a ton of self esteem and a run away obesity problem.

1913

They stand for their dynasties--nothing else. And when was America sold? With the nexus of the invention of television and the discovery that people could be manipulated to buy all sorts of things they don't need--the era of mass marketing--and that was the beginning of the end.

When the people started calling themselves conservative. Republicans represent the corporations. Conservatives vote Republican. The conservative movement is just a Republican conspiracy.

Sometime around 1776.
