Financial Reform bill shaped by lobbyists

US President Barack Obama said he hopes to sign the new financial reform bill into law by July 4. Legislation has now passed in both the US Senate and the House of Representatives, and most believe the largest hurdles are behind us. But a new report published by the Center for Public Integrity illustrates that the creators of the bill are not just those who report for duty on Capitol Hill. In fact, an overwhelming majority work on K Street.

People, especial unemployed and retired, should penetrate those political parties to destroy those lobbyists. Corporations need to come to us instead of those old and lazy politicians. If their laws can't take care of our population, we must defeat them and create new ones.

We are the bosses of this country. When we agree, there are constitutions; otherwise, there is none. No language in any documents should be above humanity. No humanity, no United States of America!!!

@megarational The campaign reform proposed so far will not work. Who will right & approve this reform? Having the fox gaurd the hen house? Won't work.  ALL INCUMBENTS ARE ALREADY BOUGHT OFF AND COMPROMISED AND MUST GO. Incumbents damn sure won't change the system.

Why do I feel like I am talking to a block wall with you? Oh yea, I am.

@truthfreedom4all What did one whore say to the other?

"Can you loan me 20 dollars 'till I get off my feet?"

[megarational]

@truthfreedom4all I resent your bias against whores. Whores are hard working entrepreneurs. Just look at the one on the corner with the sign saying "3 orifices - no waiting". .

@tapfinger A country where someone like Sarah Palin actually has a large following? A nation were so many people fight tooth and nail against something so basic as universal access to affordable health care? A nation that finally gets an intelligent president that fights for the middle and lower class, then attacks him as a "racist"? A nation where the elections process is dominated by money? A nation were inbred idiot fringe like the tea party actually has some influence?

Nope. No hope.
