You Go To Prison, They Get Paid

"...Corrections Corporation of America, the nation's largest operator of for-profit prisons, has sent letters recently to 48 states offering to buy up their prisons as a remedy for "challenging corrections budgets." In exchange, the company is asking for a 20-year management contract, plus an assurance that the prison would remain at least 90 percent full, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Huffington Post...".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

Forget your constitutional rights & freedoms that the politicians & wealthy business interests laugh at daily while violating, this is your actual physical freedom at stake now. If this doesn't wake you up to how corrupt America has become, nothing will! When they don't meet their quota they will start making harsher laws & penalties. They can change the last line of the anthem to, o'er the land of the economic slave and the home of the prisoner. America, king of all nations in debt & prisoners

Fuck Rand fascist junk.

N. Europe has the most socialized economies in the world.. most equal, least crime, most lenient sentences, support and reform rather than punishment. most democratic and free too.

Rand = David Duke's KKK scum. they even call themselves right 'libertarian'. Paul IS Greenspan's Fed ideology, Inequality, anti democracy & freedom for oligarchs thugs.

 Wisconsic right 'libertarians' are being recalled for using private prison corps in Wisconsin to replace union jobs.

Democracy needs to infuse & take-over corporations, NOT the other way around. It's very simple....Every single worker owns the corporation & then votes on relevant issues of the company. Then from the very top to the very bottom, EVERYBODY gets rewarded or not depending on how the company does.

Most current corp's are dictatorships & the harm they do to countless people & land is inexcusable!

Corporate power is the threat to your freedom, you have no right to free speech at work. Only our government acknowledges your natural rights, through the Bill of Rights, promises never to take them. But not corporations.... Corporations are a creation of monarchical government (king george)... Today our court says corporations are people too...... People better wake up....
