Corporations use OUR own money against us.
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 03:22 AM by liberaldemocrat7



Yes, that appears how I see it. When millions of progressives buy products, the profits that go to these corporations then get used to fund and lobby conservatives and moderates in congress who don't care about our issues of single payer national health care, a ten dollar an hour minimum wage, and end to the war in Iraq with Bush and Cheney resigning, and with vote by mail with paper ballots counted by civil servants.


The only way I can see counteracting this abdication of power by progressives comes from organizing to boycotting these companies and telling them unless they lobby congress for OUR progressive agenda and until congress and the president enacts it into law, they won't see a dollar of our business.


That's how millions of progressives take back America with a union of buyers.

By the way I found a very good social network site change.org and yes I have a username there democrats. org

You can find me in the End the war in Iraq, change group and in some others.

2. Americans need to face up to the fact that their 401K and stock
investment portfolios are not going to do any thing for the economy while big companies are taking their profits to invest in China, India, Brazil and Eastern Europe. Investments aren’t being made into the US economy to generate jobs for Americans. So the bottom line is its time to revisit that tax policy because the average taxpayer is subsidizing Global industrialization with no benefits for them. Once they wake up to this fact the market is going to going to get dumped big time.
