That's what it takes to be number 1 economy: profit over people (N. Chomsky). Until the real weaknesses of the society are seriously adressed (number 1: stupidity (R. Shenkman), number 2: illusion of freedom and democracy (N.C.)), the top 1 percent will get richer and richer, the bottom 80 percent will deal with unemployment, sickness, no health coverage denial and death. Is doesn't take to be a socialist to to actually love a well functionning society.

Look how "They" are trying to prevent us from having an option! Sad how republicans are only republican if it fills their pocketbook. A real republican should want the public option. They don't want you to keep CEO's from making money but they want to keep us from saving it. Bastards.
