“Banks got bailed out, we got sold out!” protesters chanted from within police barricades.
My feelings EXACTLY. Honestly as a conservative I could be there as a old fart chanting that myself. I don’t agree that global corporations should have the right to own and control our USA politicians. Global corporations that are paid OUR tax money, put it at risk to run their corporations and that want USA borders open. They now consider our USA sovereignty an inconvenience. If the gripe of these protesters is about demanding an end to crony capitalism and our nation returned to the people, I agree. Those are exactly my sentiments the issues that initially made me a Tea Party supporter.
Global corporate philosophy is different from the time when big corporations were American, employing Americans, strongly interested in USA security, and keeping their profits in the USA. They were part of the fabric of the USA. Their gain was our gain. Today these global corporations like GE are more likely to spend their tax payer subsidized R&D to China along with our nation’s security.
If you really think that's what most of these protestors want, you are naive.
The communist party is supporting them, not conservatives. They want power for the state, not the people. These are OBAMA supporters, man!
