Greed, corporations are destroying America

Why is so much money being spent on this mid-term election? This is questionable money, corporate money, Supreme Court decision money?

The top two percent have money to burn. The rest of Americans got outsourced and downsized into poverty.

Are the Democrats a threat to the filthy corporate rich? Must be! Big bucks are turning the Republicans into the Republicorp, and funding Tea Party fringes that sound like Libertarians or kooks.

Democrats who tried to put the brakes on the runaway corporate train that brought down America, and the entire world economy, are targets.

Alarm bells are going off, but the corporate industrialists want more.

“We want your government,” they say in secret meetings, and every politician in their pocket knows what their money can do.

Fox News has preached corporate anti-government propaganda for so long now that their lies sound like truth to the gullible.

Look around. The corporate beast is in every cabinet, in every piece of clothing, and it says, China, India, everywhere but here.

They swallow up small business, quadruple in size, and squash competition.

Their power play is going strong for demonizing our government and the collective ability we have to care for the underprivileged. The corporate motto is “privatize,” that means profit for them, not for the good of the public.

Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, public schools, all the good programs we own collectively, wiped out for their greed schemes.

They would even kick down the minimum wage for a third world country pay scale.

The beast wants no rules, no taxes, no restraints, on themselves. For us, read the small print.

Democrats and Independents, vote. Don’t sit this one out. Corporate giants must be held at bay, and we alone can do this. Vote.
