Ralph Nader's Solution to Debt Crisis - Democracy NOW!

Democracy NOW! DN! - As negotiations continue on a debt deal we asked longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader for his solution. Nader says: "We have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. It is not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do, is you get rid of corporate welfare. That is hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is, you tax corporations so they do not get away with no taxation. The Citizens for Tax Justice put out a report recently with that 12 major corporations like Honeywell, Verizon, General electric, and in three years, they made $167 billion in profit, paid zero in taxes, and got $2.5 billion back from the treasury."

@mia0899cs this seems to make too much sense.

@wafcake "Do you realize we are all Eisenhower Republicans here? We'e for free trade and the bond market, isn't that great?" -- An angry Pres. Bill Clinton at a cabinet meeting.

@wafcake I currently don't see much difference between the two parties, but why do you say that?

[wafcake]

@residualwealth funny thing is is that obama is more like a republican

[residualwealth]

@wafcake You should see these people on this site "Being Liberal" They act like Obama is some knight in shining armor

[residualwealth]

@Frisbieinstein You mean corrupt like taking millions of dollars from banking, medical and multinational companies? Or do you mean doing something illegal because I don't know which president since Jimmy Carter has done something clearly illegal. Clinton probably lied about the BJs. Bush got authority from Congress to kill Afghanis and Iraqis. Obama on the other hand didn't get authority from Congress to kill Pakistanis and Libyans. Isn't Obama linked to giving guns to Mexican drug dealers?
