Make it your mantra! "Power of the people on top is only possessed by them as a result of the obedience of the people below" ~ Howard Zinn

GE paid NO taxes..they are in osama hip pocket..its so obvious the liberal bias in the media, and people still recuse it..come on!!!!!start talking the truth. google galvaston texas retirement,,learn what the tea party wants to do with social security..then ask urself,,why doesnt the government let the rest of the citizens opt out of social security and do what galvaston texas did..make their own decisions on their retirement.

Respond to this video... the media is owned by liberal democrates..u cant deny it..look how they kiss osama butt. it so obvious its rediculous.u r blind. liberal propaganda is running rampant. they want to reform all those programs so there will be money available to them when they retire..go tell the government u want to see the money they took from u and put in the lock box for ur retirement..it isnt there..they spent it..they use it to buy votes..u have to know that.

Our lying president told us that the Ryan plan would do those things you mentioned. He lied.

The media tells you the tea Party is racist.. They lied.

Then you tell me the media is republican. You are not dumb, but you need to do more research

The very news stories that you are fed by the mainstream media are manipulated to mirror the public relations campaigns of companies that operate nuclear plants, sprawling theme parks that gobble up wetlands, defense contractors, oil companies and even Saudi Princes. Remember the old "Outer Limits" TV shows where the announcer says "We control everything you see and hear, the vertical, the horizontal," etc?
