Wake up America. This isn't capitalism, it's corporatism.

I find it ridiculous that Republicans and the corporate dipshits want us to believe corporations are actual people now and are entitled to unlimited campaign donations. Ok fine those are the rules (although your wrote them). But if Corporations are now people THEY HAVE TO PAY THEIR TAXES LIKE THE PEOPLE DO! Im starting the see a double standard here.

Rather than get upset that some other entity is not paying more taxes, why not revolt because you still are?

you know what BIG fucking surprise - is there something new about this? I don't give a fuck. What I care about is the devaluation of the american dollar, job loss, current unemployment rate, gas prices and the fact that food prices have increased by 400%. At the store yesterday a pack of 3 bell peppers cost 5 FUCKING DOLLARS. Are you kidding me? I can't even afford a fucking bell pepper, I can't afford meat, Obama is destroying our present AND our future. Fucking war mongering piece of SHIT

@goru426 That's funny, because from where I stand Obama sucks corporate dick harder than any republican I ever saw. WHO funded more bailout for GM? WHOSE healthcare plan includes FORCING all americans to PAY for insurance or be fined $1,500 a year. His cronies said that a family of four living on $27K a year should EASILY be able to afford $250 a month for health insurance. What planet is he living on? I went to the store yesterday & 3 bell peppers cost 5 FUCKING dollars.

Stick to your talking points much? Paid actors.

[theworm1244]

the way these congressmen just completely avoid the topic of corporations not paying anything makes me fucking sick... this country is no longer a democracy.

[regtracker]

let me see....... corporations who don't have to pay taxes( and outsource cheap labour to other countries) will create jobs in the US. where's the incentive for them to support their own "home" country's economy?????

[DrQuijano]

Is it just me or does that first senator being interviewed looked like some corporate thugs beat the crap out of him and reconfigured his face so that he would be pro corporation?

Oh, hey, how about putting this up on MSNBC?
