1. Yes, indeed. People need to snap to alert
This isn't just Wisconsin. The laws being pushed forward contain the same language.

So who cares? Well, when average people who live in a state can't hold wealth in common that balances that of corporations and the ridiculously rich, the state will no longer have the power to control the corporations.

And overthrowing all corporate regulation and installing government of, by, and for the corporations is just what this putsch is all about.

3. I remember when G. W. Bush was in power, the Neocons would
call those who disagreed with them "unAmerican, unpatriotic....even traitorous." Neocons
always accused others of the evil they themselves were perpetrating. Are corporations
betraying America today by trying to change our country into an oligarchy, if not a dictatorship?

9. Will Americans be able to reduce the awesome power held by corporations
Edited on Tue Mar-15-11 04:50 PM by Cal33
today? We had better do so, and with success. The alternative
is not pleasant to contemplate -- sadistic sickos for our masters,
just as it used to be in the olden days! It was exactly against
this that our Revolution was fought. Traitors are trying to
bring the old system back, the whole country being owned by a
few super-rich, and the hell with our democratic form of government.

5. As an anti-fascist I've been warning about this since I got here in 2001
now at least it's out in the open and enough of we, the wee small people are awake.

On a related note-some of US truthtellers have no more need of tin-foil (we never did).

An informed citizenry is a requirement of democracy-which Wisconsin isn't at the present moment because of the corporate fascism and it's GOP apparatchiks like Walker, FitzGerald, FitzGerald, FitzGerald, Van Hollen et.al...

6. Since corporations are trying to destroy our democratic form of government
through deceit, bribery, and stealth, aren't they committing high treason?
If so, shouldn't they be accused of same in court?

8. In the final analysis, I'd say it was a combination of the Neocons,
Edited on Mon Mar-14-11 12:57 PM by Cal33
the Supreme Court of the United States, and the corporations, who cheated
Al Gore out of the presidency. Wouldn't you?
