Excuse me while I vent!

Just been watching a C-Span report on the budget, etc. It is obvious to me while watching that nothing will change on a permanent basis in this country until we strip the ultra wealthy of their fortunes and COMPLETELY OUTLAW corporate lobbyist. It is sickening to watch these Republicans talking about taking money from programs and trying to convince the American public that the Democrats don't care about them!

The only two answers I see are totally taking the above or just dividing this country geographically. Give them their part to run and give us our part to run, we would have a country where all could survive, while they would be imploding from having to use some of their OWN MONEY to maintain their country!

Okay, I am done with my rant (not really but have company).

2. Is it ok for us to strip both liberal and conservative
ultra wealthy of their fortunes??? Both parties have them.

Corporate lobbyist should go, but stripping people of their wealth smacks of several types of unsavory governments

5. Of course NOT ........... lol
I said, excuse me while I rant.... I don't always mean what I say when ranting...

But, there should be a law against the ultra wealthy being in POWER who don't give a damn about anyone else!

Sick of watching the middle class and poor become poorer and seeing corporations and the ultra wealthy become richer at the expense of the poor and middle class!

3. "Trading Places"
is among my favorite movies. It has become a Holiday classic and perfect for Fitzmas Eve.

4. The number one lie the republican's have gotten away with, is
that they care about the poor, workers and middle class as they bleed them dry...as they shift the necessary money to corporations , via tax cuts and corporate welfare (subsidies)...telling the people the rich and the corporations will create more jobs and corporations will take care of them, and to hate unions, (because unions demand fair wages and benefit for the workers). While at the same time republican's want to get rid of Social Security, min. wage, unemployment insurance, health care...because that money too could be going to corporations, who pay no taxes and take our jobs overseas, to increase their profits even more.

But we ALL know that!
