I don't understand Jay's obsession with corporations.

I suspect that he's worried about the apparent pooling of economic power corporations are currently amassing and that his expectations that corporations act in a "moral" manner haven't been met.

How about multinational corporations that work against the best interests of the nation because they have got in bed with the chinese communists?

Jim Owens, chairman and chief executive of Caterpillar on Wednesday warned that deteriorating trade relations between the US and China could plunge the global economy into recession and called on Congress to back away from protectionist measures. He spoke as Congress prepares to consider legislation that could impose a range of tariffs on Chinese exports in an effort to slim a trade deficit that ballooned to more than $200bn .

So Congress wants to do something to stablize our economy, but the multinational corporate head winds up as a mouthpiece for the chinese government insisting that any moves on our part will create a global catastrophe.

That truly is the antithesis of the independent country we once were, and we can thank all the "free traders" out there for it.

China this week pledged to meet US complaints about the trade imbalance as part of next month’s trip to Washington by Hu Jintao, Chinese president, but has also warned the US to take responsibility for its economic problems.

Would that be taking back some of the debt China has purchased to artificially lower our interest rates? How has the US got into a position where China is warning us about our economy?

If you're gonna talk smack, why not address me directly?

It's not about morality, pal. It's about the continued economic health of our nation, and the long-term protection of our freedoms. I'm guessing you don't give a flying flip about either. This makes you something other than a Republican or a conservative. I'm guessing you're either a nihilistic Libertarian (anarchist) or some type of NWO fascist.
