Ah those corporations

Welcome to the United Entities of Wal-Mart, Sony, Haliburton or whatever : - )

Can you imagine a country where we pledge allegiance to a corporate logo ? I can and it's sad.

Our debt is huge and it owned by China. what if it was sold to say Halliburton? They could cut a deal - "do as we say or we'll call the debt" ...scary? yup

Corporations are like people - they have rights - but unlike people they do not have all the responsibilities we have.

See - they can easily declare bankruptcy and not have to repay outstanding debts. People no longer can do that thanks to the MBNA Law that Congress passed.

The also are major contributors to these current crop of politicians...mostly to repug candidates but also to some dems as they are hedging their bets this year.

Not all corporations are evil - some actually do good work...but the evil ones are gobbling up our resources - the airwaves, the print media, our energy companies, and our downtowns.... they are greedy and they won't stop until they own everything they want....

How do we stop them? We a good start is to vote for Democrats this Tuesday
