We should not be running up huge national bills without the foresight to see how we will pay them off, other than by expecting our children and grandchildren to bail us out of debt.
We need real leadership in the White House that understands the crippling effect health care costs are having on business and most importantly, has a plan to deal with it.
It will lower healthcare costs...
Then again, I have read other opinions that Kerry's promises of nationalized healthcare may constitute his chief appeal to (shortsighted) CEO's.
Remind me not to be sad when the trial lawyers go after Big Alcohol.
These companies want business as usual with foreign companies - we have that now - what they don't want is all the scrutiny of the rule of laws and treaties. Kerry is an internationalist - he is not in anyway Pro-American and he is a traitor to his countrymen with egregious lies to a gullible, cowardly vote hungry congress who let their country down with their willingness to bend over for special interests and the enemy.

Dang! The Oxygen Channel? What a heartbreaker! But, if I must, I will forego it for the good of the cause.

hey, where's Larry Flyntt?
Levi's and bank of america have been on the pro-gun
,don't buy list for quite a while.
If you like Levi's ,buy them second hand.
I know, I'll bet AB slides some $ to our guys too.
ROTF!!! Oh, that one will be tough to give up.
BTW, as much as I hate it, I simply can't leave Clinique. I've been with them from the beginning - over 25 years. Call me vain, but nothing paints the barn better than Clinique stuff.
When are shareholders gonna grow a brain?
if big gomint is paying for everyone's health care, it's one
less thing employers see themselves having to offer as
a hiring incentive.
Bud sucks anyway - drink your own urine of you want a suitable replacement. Otherwise, do Coors or better yet imports from non-us-hating countries.
Now if we can just cross reference the big wigs with the number of outsourced jobs that have been moved out of the US, I think you will find that the entire 2 million lost jobs that Kerry keeps referring to in his speeches were all lost because of the business decisions of the people on this list.
Corporate Fat Cats for Kerry
And Brown-Forman, too. Don't they make Jack Daniels?
