Yup, America's "FOR SALE" people... plain & simple!



* I am SO surprised our "good government's" (NOT) allowing this... after all, didn't Ronald Reagan 'step on' the Air Traffic Controller's Union when it was affecting the airlines adversely...?

OH, that's right - he's a REPUBLICAN (formerly a democrat no less)...

NO - they don't "do" that, helping the greater body of their voting constituency... They only help the wealthy & corporate bodies they serve (are owned by is more like it & blowing a billion++ dollars a day (or whatever ludicrous amount it is) on this stupid war instead of funding gov't. jobs... what a pack of CROOKS!).

APK

P.S.=> Why doesn't "good government" just step in & say:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
"OK, want to outsource? FINE: We will allow that, per 'laissez faire', but, in turn?? We will tax away & penalize ANY profits gained, as well as take more monies from YOU, the corporate body practicing outsourcing, additionally taking away your incentive (profit motive) to do so!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thing is: You'll NEVER see THAT, happen... not with republicans in office (vs. democrats) - the fools don't seem to understand that when you take away American Workers' jobs (the largest consumer group historically w/ the most 'disposable income' on the planet), you take away:

• Tax Paying Citizenry - a vital source of money for said "good government" no less, which is hilarious - our leader morons can't even SEE this much (HOWEVER - You do NOT see the 'top dogs' in politics EVER lose THEIR jobs though, goodness no - they instead get LIFETIME PENSIONS that blow away ANY pension plan normal gov't. or other employees see, @ FULL PAY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES EVEN OUT OF OFFICE, that's complete bull**** (Also - was I to do as "good a job as Bushby & Darth Cheney" though? Think I'd keep MY job as a 'working stiff'?? Heck no!))

• The ability "for Peter, to Pay Paul", who pays Uncle Sam (both do), keeping the 'economic engine cycle', chock full of fuel to burn (tax monies)

Nope, it's ALL about greed... where does it come/stem from? Follow the dollars, & imo??

That's the STOCKMARKET itself...

Now, you CAN'T beat this nation in a war/street fight... So instead?

HEY - Buy her up, she's for sale... & mismanage the HELL out of her by putting morons/idiots @ the top of her corporate bodies + political positions of power...

Greed destroyed the Roman Empire (&, in a way? Outsourcing too - by hiring mercenaries for soldiery eventually, those same foreign soldiers later turned on the Romans (ala Hannibal iirc)), along with sloth, & this nation's heading down that same road, only faster...

We're being "souled out" by our "good government" & the corporate bodies that put their stooges in place in government...

The more I look around, people, the more I think that the BIGGEST CRIMINALS OF ALL ARE IN PLACE @ THE TOP OF THINGS IN THIS NATION (makes me sick)... apk
