I agree, it is not like Bill Gates is worried about working at Publix when he retires to supplement his S.S.
There also needs to be reforms in the medical billing. The problem is 3 fold, one the hospitals over charging(but fraud does get you elected governor), lawyers suing everyone, and the insurance companies price fixing. Those items need to be addressed as well.
The problem is each one of those groups make it rain in D.C while watching our elected officials wiggle on the pole. You ain't seen nothing yet, thanks to the Supreme Court selling out our country to what ever Corporation has the deepest pockets. You and I are not represented in our government and until so, will constantly be bent over with our pants around our ankles without the common courtesy of a reach around. We have no hope unless we go all Farrah Fawcett, Buring Bed style on our politicians. Instead of gasoline, vote out every single incumbent until they understand our government represents all of America and not 1%.
Obama is estimated to have over a billion dollar war chest. That is fucking insane, that running for office has become a big business.
well now you're just a free speech hater!
here's my question..
how can anyone.. anyone.. think a corporation is out for the good of anyone other than that corporation? They are required to,by law, do what ever is in their power to turn a profit.. that right there ensures they will fuck whomever they can. That is not capitalism, that is bullshit. There is no such thing as a good capitalist society, it's a utopia that can never be obtained because we are all humans.. and humans have 'greed'.. greed kills capitalism just as fast as it kills socialism... The market cannot regulate because it will not be allowed to. Big Corp A, is going to do everything they can to put all the eggs in their baskets so you buy theirs, and only their, widgets.. So corp B just never has a chance and withers are dies..
our system is based on greed since greed is a naturally occurring human condition and these days, we've been told it's not only good.. but it's now legal... and yet the blind ideologues will sell every soul they can because they have bought into the utopia fable of capitalism..
it's an insanity that amazes me each and every day..
