I am against gross corporate greed but I am not against corporations. I also think that many, if not all, of the politicians in Washington are bought and paid for by corporations and banks who then turn around and profit with the assistance of people who are put in charge of our tax dollars. I have thought that was the sentiment of many in the occupy movement. If the #ows movement is just bums that are fighting for that cause, call me a bum... |

...in the case of big corporations, the numbers are reversed..as in the percentage that IS a problem is a much larger group than those that are not. Now, in this case you could argue the number that are KNOWINGLY and INTENTIONALLY a problem is smaller...but the rest of them most certainly benefit from the laws, tax breaks, etc just the same.

I'm pretty confident my last words will be 'well crap, that didn't work'. Of all the things I've lost over the years, I think I miss my metabolism most of all. Nachos are just tacos that don't have their s_it together. I'm not adding this year to my age because I really didn't use it. Ever notice that extra fries and exercise sound a lot alike? |

Just like our own lives in general. We may admit to some mistakes made in the past, we may not admit to some, we may not even realize still others. But we can't go back and start over, we have to start from where we are and go from there. ...but what's been going on forever is...they keep piece mailing short sighted short term solutions feeling the pressure to satisfy people today...how else can they get reelected so they can continue to enjoy all the perks they enjoy as public officials because the system continues to be controlled by big money
