On behalf of transnational corporate interests, the Bush Admininstration and the GOP are willfully conducting economic war against the American Middle Class.
"I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country." -- President Andrew Jackson - (1824)
"Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy."
~ Theodore Roosevelt

"a list of once American corporations who's profits are no longer funneled"
Not to be pedantic but shouldn't it be "whose" profits?

Looks like Darwin was right at least in economics.

Debt is good! I heard it right here on FR. We can control foreign governments through our debt and everythings going to be fine. Debt makes us stronger.

More commie propaganda. I understand your concern. Chronicling abuses of capitalism does look like support for communism.

What, exactly, is capitalism abusing?
Seems to me, communism is the root of sloth, fantasy's of entitlement, and government control whereas capitalism allows individual empowerment?
But, I take it you're a socialist by that comment...right?

More commie propaganda.No, not at all.
If George W. Bush was a true conservative, he'd understand that the economic burden of the federal regulatory and social welfare beauracracy is what renders our domestic industries non-competitive in the global market. Rather than alleviating this burden, the backstabbing weasel has deliberately chosen to increase it with unrestrained deficit spending while undermining the wages and benefits of the American Middle Class. His actions go far beyond "irresponsible", he is an economic tyrant and despot.

The American dream has prospered. In the past eight years my husband's income has increased by a third, due to his hard work and willingness to be gainfully employed while providing for a family. We see this as a good pay off.

I consider the current state of the American economy as a politically driven "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer" economic model. The rich always get richer and the poor always get poorer.
The rich get richer by continuing to make the decisions that got them rich in the first place. Same with the poor.
The American Dream - the belief that through hard work, courage and determination one can achieve prosperity - has vanished in the atmosphere of this greed and power driven frenzy.
Bull.
