Ralph Nader: "Only the Super-Rich can save us!!" -2/3

Ralph Nader on the G-20, Healthcare Reform, Mideast Talks and His First Work of Fiction, "Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!"
As the United States prepares to host the Group of Twenty nations summit in Pittsburgh later this week, we speak with longtime consumer advocate, corporate critic, author and presidential candidate Ralph Nader. Nader discusses Congresss failure to pass any meaningful financial reform on Wall Street over the past year and critiques Obamas healthcare reform proposal. Ralph Nader also talks about his first work of fiction, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us! Nader describes the book in terms of a practical utopia, a fictional vision that could become a new reality.

i think you're misled in thinking its a right/left thing. the conservatives are no longer true conservatives and democrats are no longer true democrats. they're all neoconservatives taking big paychcks from corporations. left AND right

Those who are unable to control an animal urge to overpower, burgle & rape others are supposed to be prosecuted & imprisoned for such crimes; and isn't that what the corporate world has been doing to their so-called customers (victims) for decades?

There's no free market. Corporations aren't our friends. The idle rich are not ordained by God (maybe the Devil) to sponge up the riches to fund their privileged lives from the blood, sweat and tears of the other 95% of us.

Enough is enough.

@UCIBME Google is Tech company totally different Tech companies help the economy they don't enslave middle class workers. They don't make products.

@UCIBME so profits come only at the expense of others?

It does in todays economy because large companies let so many people invest they cant profit when they get bad then you also have the money hungry company who consider the workers as a liability and think they deserve minimum wage just because they are not educated idiots. Those two types of business ruined america.A true democartic president would not allow states to trump the will of the people like IN, OH, WS, and TX Right To Work Law.

My whole childhood I went to church and was always taught the super rich sold their soul to the devil to gain wealth. What is with these dumb Tea Party people? Quit giving into the devil and vote soenone like Nader in it is our only last stance as americans.

YOU LIE

[UCIBME]

would you consider small businesses apart of this behemoth? If not, how do they differ aside from the obvious size disparity?

[FriedDaisy]

I think we've reached the tipping point. What was once wholesome is now spoiled.

The voracious behemoth which represents our banking & business sector has started consuming its own tail; and as it progresses up its own spin to eat its own head, eventually, there'll nothing left but a giant, gaping, black hole of a mouth--sucking in anything of value to be transported to that alternate plain better known as the offshore bank accounts of the power elite.
