Imagine the President as a CEO of a company with an executive board where half of the members want him as CEO to fail. CEO fails ...company fails.

How would he run the company properly with half his board working against him and working towards the failure of the entire company.

That is America today. I think we all know which half of this country wants the President to fail.

america is the land of freedom loving people land of forward thinking leaders. land of kind strong people. as zionisim has taken over the economy media and politics of this great land we see less of real american life and american culture.

i love the two rules. i think all true americans should follow these two rules. and soon we will see the return of american culture.

You have increased the number of your merchants till they are more than the stars of the sky, but like locusts they strip the land and then fly away. Nahum 3:16 (New International Version)

Just as guilty of what? we are talking about the demise of small businesses. Forcing corporations to pay employees more money would surely help small business by increasing the spending power of Mr average and decreasing the fiscal clout of the big companies.

IMO - the unions (especially the huge ones) are just as guilty as the Wal-Marts and other big corporations. The "us vs. them" BS cuts both ways.

[perunatic]

The Walmart rep claims that anti-corporatism is part of "a very expensive campaign funded by the Unions".....that would be the Unions that were formed to protect people from abusive labour practices, so that's the Unions doing their job on behalf of the people they represent (most people), to the annoyance of a tiny minority of rich people. A particularly inept piece of scaremongering from Walmart.

This is what I have been doing for a long time. Shopping and eating at the Mom & Pop restaurants. But when it comes to clothes and stuff do you ever see ANY? No there are no more small time shops. It is sad. All corporate clothes all nasty clones of the same crap. Then they wonder why the economy is going to crap? Well with GMO for food and now cloned meat? LOL It is going to get much much worse!

I wish that more people could see this movie. Truly, a powerful message to America.

I hope all this does not dissapear, one reason I visit America is because of this.
