Why are you bothering?
>>118 thinks we'd be "poor farmers" without the ass-rapings routinely handed out by the corporations. He never realizes that farmers aren't poor, and the historical ones in our tradition of liberty (the yeoman) were very well off.
We don't have to choose between bread lines and Crony Capitalism. But Mr. Butthurt (
>>118) apparently can't even remember huge scandals that aren't even a decade old (ref. the corporate scandals marked around 2002). As soon as these revelations reach the public, he and his sick kind are busy yawning and dismissing and obliterating the rational conclusions about the event.
Like all lying trolls,
>>118 has "no debt" (so apparently is not in the majority -- apparently the majority (mortgage holders, credit-card holders, car lease holders, etc) never post on the Internet) and has his money make him more money ... which just means he's another Gen-X or Boomer speculator, and his money is just tied up in risky outlets, and he's nowhere near as wealthy as he thinks. Bear fucking Sterns claimed it was fairly well off, too, before people started to actually FIND OUT what it's so-called investments were worth. That's the position that
>>118 is in now; he hasn't MARKED TO MARKET yet. So he's free to lie his damn-fool head right the fuck off.
The corporations are busily merging their interests with the US government. They are essentially writing the laws, now. The excesses barely revealed by 2002 have been dampened. Fuck, all that "restatement" brouhaha is now NORMAL, which makes the Sarbanes-Oxley "changes" just more corporate BULLSHIT to keep us living in denial until they end up owning everything.

Dotcoms. Enron. Arthur Andersen. Worldcom. Tyco. LTCM. No-bid contracting for Iraq. You failed immediately. The accounts of corporate malfeasance revealed by 2002 make you MOAR THAN WRONG. How are you able to type out those LIES with a straight face?
