PLEASE ELECT EITHER:

 

 

A government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the

corporations

 

(The Republican Party will do that for you.)

 

Or

 

A government of the people, by the people, for the people

 

Big brother is watching you. No, that's not a warning—the corporations

know what they wish to know about you. The warning: Corporation will

own you. They already own the politicians, who will legislate the

ultimate possession of you for them.

 

Here is a typical example:

 

 

 

CORPORATE DICTATORSHIP

 

Senate turned down Amendment proposed by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT)

making it illegal for contractors to overcharge or cheat the government.

 

No surprise. It has been legal for corporations to cheat the

government and the Senate intends to keep it that way. Corporations

have Congress' blessing, we will see an increase in cheating! You and

I have paid for it and will pay yet more in the future.

 

The 2003 average corporate tax was only 6%. The burden was on

individuals. Congress reduced the corporate taxes by another $140

Billion! You and I pick up the slack.

 

Tax cuts: the politicians promised us would create jobs. They enriched

the rich, reduced government spending that would otherwise have

created jobs for you and me. These excess corporate earnings are now

handed over as bonuses to the rich corporate officers. Promoting

outsourcing and increasing immigration creates a weak demand for

working people, making the people submissive to the corporations.

Employee earnings have declined over 9%. Job security remains precarious.

 

Congress made it illegal for Medicare to negotiate drug prices. They

also made it illegal to import drugs. This hampers competition and

will considerably increase the prices we all pay for drugs.

 

This Congress does not enforce antitrust laws. Many small oil

companies have been bought up or merged, resulting in reduced

competition and higher prices. Go buy gas while you can afford it.

 

The rich are enriched, the middle class reduced.

 

This link shows that every Republic voted to promote cheating.
