"In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway."Corporations are human beings.
That was not a joke. It is a fact that the supreme court of the united states ruled as truth in 1886. It was based off of the 14 Amendment of our
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge theprivileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'"
That was supposed to free the slaves.
I bring this up only because Corporations fought for the right to be recognized as human. Humans make mistakes, and they make badge choices. And when those bad choices lead to bad ends...you face it...and sometimes you hit rock bottom.
These corporations did not make mistakes, they made piss poor decisions, and they knew it. They also knew that there was a good chance the government would save them. After all, we have been bailing out the airlines and the rail services for years. What was they line fed to us then?
"We need the transportation for the economy"
Well, now that line is being shoved down our throats again.
Please, I really need that credit card company screwing me around...yes please...bail them out with my money. I'll pay them twice a month. That's fine. And that insurance company that takes my money every month for years and then refuses to pay when I actually have a claim. Yes...send them more of my money please.
1 Trillion Dollars!! Maybe we are so complacent about this because we aren't wired to think that big. But trust me....it big. But hey, our national debt is already at 10 trillion dollars....what's another trillion right.
My friends if this bailout plan goes through, the country that has been spreading democracy around the world for the last decade will take a giant leap into the cesspool of Socialism.
Mark my words.
