"...ankle bone connected to the kneebone - kneebone connected to legbone..
Edited on Sun Oct-09-05 12:15 PM by kentuck
We have 9 million more Americans in poverty since Bush and the Repubs took power in 2001. Poverty is connected to jobs. We have lost millions of jobs because of our trade polices and our lack of immigration policies. Poverty is connected to the job bone.

The lack of jobs is connected to the corporate coddling by this Administration. When they can such favorable treatment by the Bush and the Republicans with taxes and deregulation, they always treat their employees worse when they have all the power. So the job bone is connected to the corporate bone.

Healthcare is connected to corporations, by and far. They receive deductions that are favorable but it also gives them the excuse not to raise wages because they are paying more in "benefits". In the meantime, we have about 5 million more people without healthcare in our country. So the healthbone connected to corporate bone connected to the job bone. And we are all getting boned by the Republicans and their corporate buddies.
