Just a bunch of thieves

Pelosi: "We are robbing the future of America's families who are struggling for a better future for their children in order to give a tax cut of $800 billion, $800 billion. So not only is this a burden to these low-income families, they're saying to them, your children and future generations and everyone alive and paying taxes today will be paying for $800 billion added to our national debt. Values. Foisting that on to our children and to the american taxpayer. Values, putting a sham built together to give political cover for the could you cowards who won't stand up -- cowards who won't stand up and give a clean bill to this floor."

Nancy Pelosi talks to much. She sounds like an radical extremist with a bunch of blah blah philosophy, that she's trying to shove down everyones throat. I bet most of those people listening to her are wishing like hell, that she'd get to the point and then finally shut up.

I wish this government would just hurry up and give everything to the banks and we can get the revolution started.

@mikejadoti: I am aware why Walmart has low prices, basically by enslaving the Chinese (Chinese manufacturing is complicit). I saw a show on how Chinese are forced to work long hours 7 days a week for next to nothing. A worker interviewed was begging "Please, just give us one day a week off." I never went in the store again. This happens overseas because there are no workers rights here. Still think the govt shouldn't get involved?

@mikejadoti: I don't shop there.

The people are capable of speaking out against the Circuit City, Hollywood Video, etc, when they don't approve of something they do, but aren't capable of speaking out against walmart, for as much as they hate walmart and big businesses practices, they love those prices... which, like I said earlier, you can combat by shopping at places that act how you think they should act.

@judyleasugar97 I know the documentary you're talking about, and I agree, Walmart is a horrendous corporation. We don't disagree there, we disagree on how it should be fixed, you can go the gov't route, which will invariably screw everyone in the process, or people can quit bitching long enough about walmart and recognize they shop/work their too. The employee and the consumer can go work elsewhere, as if walmart didn't exist, but they won't, they love the low prices.

@mikejadoti: I watched a documentary about Walmart that came out a few years ago. Back then it was estimated the Waltons who own the company had made 6 billion dollars, I'm sure it's more now. 6 billion. And they can't give their workers benefits and a living wage? Bullshit. They could pay thier people better. As Bud Fox said in the movie Wallstreet, "How man yachts can you water ski behind? How much is enough?" These people have a mental illness with money.

@mikejadoti: Execs of multi-national corporations shouldn't get as much as they do, sorry. I don't agree with what you said, even with SLIGHTLY lowered (and it wouldn't take away that much to create more fairness) incentives people will still want to play. They may complain but they'll still play.
