I do believe I will pass on the Kochers Teabag cut out. Even with the pins stuck in, I couldn't stomach looking at the thing.

Thanks Cha

for more than a split second!

During the bush errror.. I couldn't have anything with bush on it, no matter how much it exposed his treachery.

It was really great and awesome when we got to the Obama Era when we could accentuate the Positive.

You're welcome, she~

I first started hearing about the Koch bros(it was a small trickle).. and then ALEC(had no idea what that was).. can you imagine even a few months from now.. it will only get more widely exposed!

We all get what they pay for. At least for them, they can pad their retirement a little while profiting off wiping our environment & wildlife into extinction. Must be an odd feeling to have no empathy towards animals.

How much power, for example, did Hitler cede to corporations? I thought the corporations did pretty much whatever the Nazis asked of them.

in exchange for making a business friendly climate for them once he achieved power. His military build up had all the factories humming, Germans working and slave labor from the concentration camps kept profits high. They sort of scratched each other's back.

why this is so true?
Because the entire mainstream media never mentions fascism, they only bad-mouth socialism. Socialism this, socialism that, blah, blah, blah.

In capitalism, if you make money you get to keep it. If you loose money, you go broke or out of business.

In socialism, if you make money, some is skimmed of the top via taxes for the betterment of society (police, roads, schools, etc)
If you loose money, you can declare bankruptcy to protect your family.

In fascism, if you make money you get to keep it. If you loose money, the losses are transferred onto the taxpayers to keep the corporation or banks solvent (Bailout anyone?).
Actually, one could argue that fascism started under Ray-Gun, with his S&L bailouts in the 1980's.
