You make a good and valid point, but you have to remember it's very expensive to move a corporation. They also, have to consider that people will stop purchasing their products. We need to unite, and stop purchasing these companies goods.

We need to inform people what products to boycott. It's us against them. We can win if we unite.

Thank you! This is encouraging news.

I have to wonder how he got elected with these figures. Was the election rigged?

So what they are saying is only Fox (Lies) News, can call people names and get away with it? We have no right to an opinion? What happened to freedom of speech? At least this guy told the truth, the tea partiers are racist goons. Whereas Fox wouldn't know the truth if it bit them.

I'm definitely smart enough to know that....are you? The true is:

The Republicans do not care about America, how any reasonable human would ever vote for one is just plain insane.

Yes, even if you are wealthy!

When the masses don't have enough money to pay for necessities, they certainly don't have the money to purchase extras. Who will purchase American goods if only a few have all the money?

There are no jobs, because so few have any money to buy anything.

Anyone with any intelligence knows working hard is not a way to get rich, being greedy and ruthless is the only way it is done in America.

Yes, you are right it is most politicians, not just Repubs, but they clearly are the worst of them.

The only sensible, uncorrupted politicians I've found is Bernie Sanders, and the Wisconsin 14! There are a few that care about America.

Re: The Age of the Political Sting

Rebecah — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 12:09:13 -0000

Bernie Sanders and the Wisconsin 14 are the best of the best. Hero's through and through.

Scott Walker is a corporate puppet, and college drop out, that couldn't do better than a C average.

Keep living in that fantasy world of yours, they'll (Koch Brothers and Walker) be coming for your money very soon.

Exactly!

The only things I would add is that Social Security has nothing to do with the deficit, and we need a lot more socialism. Capitalism has failed! Socialism is our best option as opposed to Federalism.

Not to other banks, to a credit union that is non profit and owed by everyone that has an account. Make this a nation wide trend!

You go Wisconsin....you just may be on a trend to save America!

Re: Awesome: Wisconsin Firefighters Shut Down Bank That Funded Walker | AlterNet

Go to a Credit Union!

That's because they don't pay out huge unwarranted bonuses.

I love you Bernie Sanders! Thank-you for being a real human being.

How much did they pay you to say that?
Do you honestly think the very wealthy keep their money in US Banks?

All Americans need to stop using big bank, they are robbing us blind, it has to end. No matter how small, this is a way we can fight back.

Re: Awesome: Wisconsin Firefighters Shut Down Bank That Funded Walker | AlterNet

Rebecah — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 17:14:16 -0000

Okay it is a well known fact that the Koch brothers etc, pay people to say things that go against what most people, know is propaganda. I admit your post didn't have all the grammar and spelling errors the trolls have.

If you aren't one of them, I'm sorry I upset you.

Even if it does not close the banks down, at least the gangsters, will no longer make any money off the ones that are smart enough to move their money. Doing something is a whole lot better then doing nothing.

Always stay positive and do it with love in your heart!

You're so wrong. The problem is we need more unions, especially now. This is part of the reason the working class has so little of their share of the pie.

I really wish you could see that.

Now that is criminal in my book. I think you need a lawyer...this is so wrong!

You should name the insurance company here, so others know who this company is.

I agree and I have the misfortune of living in Michigan. What Snyder is doing is really worse then what Walker has done. He thinks he will rule all of the cities in Michigan, as a dictator. While giving away millions to his rich friends, taxing the poor and elderly to pay for his give aways.

I see handcuffs for this criminal. He totally destroyed Gateway, and people voted for this nut. This election really made me believe the Republicans have rigged our voting system.

I agree 100%, Michiganders are not that stupid. Someone with lots of money had to have done this, not only in Michigan, but all over the North East. I was shocked when I heard the idiot won. I agree he is far from being worthy of being a governor.

You are so right about our politician. To me it seems they are aliens, especially at the state level, and mostly within the Republican party. "Invasion of the body snatchers" at least that's what it seems to me.

Wow, you do know what you are talking about. Thanks it's so refreshing to know I'm not the only one that sees what we see.

I just wish I knew what to do. Somehow we all need to find a way to come together. I thought about starting a forum based website just for discussing these things. Somehow we need to come together. Like the saying goes 2 heads are better then one. Just think what we could do with Millions of heads working together.

If they had half a brain they would know that you can't create jobs until the masses have the purchase power back. They just did it a@@ backwards. Just giving that money to the wealthy gave them no reason to create jobs.

They need to give the masses back the money they stole from us, so that we have the purchase power, which will create jobs.

Capitalism breeds greed and corruption, wall street breeds greed and corruption, both or which are no better then a dictatorship.

Socialism with a small amount of controlled capitalism is the best and fairest.

Not spending, does not create jobs! Working hard and saving money, may result in the accumulation of wealth, but it's very rare. It may happen, but you have a better chance of being hit by lightening. It is the dream they brainwash people with. Just like a carrot on a stick dangled in front of a mule, to get him to move.

The wealthy do not create jobs, the masses create jobs through their purchases. A wealthy person can't create any jobs, if no one buys what they produce.

Giving more money to the wealthy only make them less likely to create jobs. Why create jobs when the government just hands them all the money they want?
