Great analysis--clearly presented! Corporate welfare is one of the major problems facing the U.S. at the present time. Corporations must pay their fair share for the good of the entire society.

Cynthia McKinney describes the problems and solutions quite well. McKinney for President

There's one side sayin we need more Government. There's one side sayin we need more Corporations. I can't tell who's right or wrong anymore. I can't tell what the fuck is going on. Why is everyone arguing and spreading hate. Why is there hate. End the hate. Cause I see no future in my life if this world can't come to one conclusion. Who's out there sayin we need more Peace. I say no Corporations and No Governmnet. I say YES to Peace. Revolution for Peace!!!

[Dearhunter43]

I say end Economics and Government. No Corporations and No Politics. Just Love. Just Love.

Cynthia McKinney should tell the truth the Bill (debt)............

I mean the Dollar '' Bill '' is not backed by Silver or Gold, moreover, it is debt notes !....So how can a Country(ies) pay off it's Jewish run IMF (banks) debt with debt ? ( paradoxical conundrum )...

Huh?????? What is she smokin".  Wait, was it her party (the democrats) that started it?

@MuskratandRatman: Oh, hah! Go dump your lies somewhere else. The exesses of the 1920s brought on the great Depression. The 80s brought on the recession of the early 90s. Republican methods don't work! The economy always colapses after Republicans have their way. The vibrant middle class of the 50s and 60s was a result of what FDR did!

@judyleasugar97

Only 4% of what you pay at the pump is Corprate profit. 80% is Government taxes. If Republican methods don't work then how come the most prosperous and inventive times in america was the 1920's and 80s where we had low taxes and regulation while the most depressing was in the 1930s when we had huge government and high taxes of nearly 90% of the highest paid. And also in 1918-1921 when we had a tax rate of 70%!

[judyleasugar97]

@MuskratandRatman: Yes, and who are the ones who are not working? The wealthy who leech off the hard-working in society with their exhorbidant banking overdraft fees, gas prices, etc etc. Those were the people Jefferson was referring to! The point is Republican methods don't work. Look where 8 years with Bush got us!

[MuskratandRatman]

@judyleasugar97

agreed, this include sacrifice, but not by government. They need to hault spending. Cut welfare and this health care and people need to break their reliance on government intervention. Thomas Jefferson once said "America will fail when we take from those who work and give to those who won't" America is failing because of our Take from the rich give to the poor mentality!

[judyleasugar97]

@MuskratandRatman: Under Bush everyone I knew was yelling and screaming that they couldn't pay their bills. Salaries flat-lined but prices were going up up up. No one in Washington was listening! At least Obama is trying to do something about it! Maybe that requires a little sacrifice by everyone, including the wealthy.

@judyleasugar97

we were when he made it easier to start up a business. in 2003 I started a business that made me a new millionare under Bush. I tried and failed under Clinton. Bush cut a lot of the paper work, but not enough in my book. What I don't like about Bush is he poured money into Iraq when my son informed me that NOTHING much is going on over there. And he tried to use tax payer money to solve this crisis. That isn't the way to do it.
