we are hated

[spongebob]

Not at all, I kicked ya some good karma.....I respect the good, levelheaded, points you bring to my attention. I'm bothered by the in bed mentality of the government with those big biz.....(oil comps, munitions corps, etc. That is the biggest danger to the
American people. It is nowhere close to a democracy. I'd love for a good, honest, independent candidate to run. I'd vote for them, but who could you trust? Jesse Ventura.

I remember Bush saying a few weeks ago, he wasn't going to drop a million dollar bomb on a 4$ tent, well, it appears that is what's happening. A lot of them. I'm assuming he's trying to avoid casualties, but we haven't learned a thing from the cruise missile (Clinton), we are just doing it up close now.

thinks for the karma bro. whats a "gray sguare" in your karma points mean?

i agree with you on that "in bed" mentality shit. its the way the lobbyist operate. thats the shit that needs to be changed.
anyway, goodnite.

You see this is great, we are not attacking each other, we are just talking.....
and it should be elevated to a higher level since we are talking online, and not face to face.

in regards to corporate wellfare.

ever heard of the S&L crisis..............this was an incident of White collar crime.........and becuase of the bail out every american has to pay for it.

would you like the estimate according to Dr. James Lance Taylor PHD. USC 1000 dollars for every man women and child in the US.

also the the majority of money for the aiplane bail out went to the corporations, and a miniscule amount went to fired workers of those airlines who recieved the bail out......also the airlines in order to cut costs, are thinking of eliminated some "perks" that you got before,,.....like airplane meals, and service orientated things. all in the name of keeping the economy going, and cutting costs. If you think these changes will be temmporary, think again.

also did you know in that in one year in the 1990's GE who makes weapons, lightbulbes, refriderators, contruction equipment, telecommunication technolgies, and own TV stations, and other media, paid less tax than one individual US taxpayer from the medium income tax Bracket?

Is that Capatalism? I think not, it's called closed capatalism limited only to those elite who already controll most markets`.
Capatalism is a bout comeptition, and an inferior product beating a superioir product. This just does not happen in the US man.

Some might say the dotcom fallout was a white collar crime. History repeating itself?

i believe companies dont pay taxes when they dont turn a profit, but im no expert. and im not sure if GE turned a profit those yrs. if your gonna make statements like these you need to add more info so as we can make a true judgement.

What in the hell do we owe muslims? I believe the oil rich arab states could do plenty to help their poorer muslim brothers. However they would much rather spend their oil money on lavish palaces and weapons of mass destruction to be used against us. If the Pakistani students have a "soft spot" for Osama Bin Laden, then maybe they should go to Afghanistan and join his Jihad. The more Jihaders we have in one place, the easier it will be to kill them.
