alas, you have nailed it, randita.

We all will have to make our own phones, tractors, steel, etc out back in the dark of night, using scrap from the junk yard. Then the .gov will tax us for doing so, and jail us for not paying into a health care plan.

They will also tax us for the turnips we grow in our pitiful li’l garden plots.

Hmmm... tenant/peasant/sharecroppers we all will be, and considering the death of modern medicine, the dark age pestilences will follow.

Seventh Seal, anyone?

But, they have such good intentions, you know? Disgusted here in upstate NY.

One thought about corporate CEO’s. Who owns corporations? Stockholders? And who owns stock in these so called American corporations? Mutual Funds own quite a bit.....Who are the majority owners of these mutual funds? That would be where the power of the company lies.... it’s possible for an American company not to be controlled by Americans even if the CEO is American.

In my humble opinion, only income producers should be allowed to vote. The true “Pauls” (income recipients from income producers) should be prohibited.

The latter includes me and my beloved, by the way, since we are now stuck with medicare and social security, but we would have done our job over the past 50 years we were self-employed, creating a lot of good jobs for others.

Maybe we should have a new slogan? Never trust anyone on the .gov payroll, or over 65.

OBUMMER WILL JUST NATIONALIZE THE COMPANIES........

And if those CEOs are smart, they will remember the lesson of Wyatt's Torch. "Come and take it. I left it just the way I found it."

Several ideas had been tossed around, your included.

I am not sure that just because one falls off the producing ranks due to age they should not be allowed to vote.

That said, we could start with NOT allowing career welfare types, illegals (duh!, it is already illegal to vote for them), dead people, and so on.

I don’t have much hope in the short term though, as clearly there will be a push this year to get anybody, with a pulse or not, to vote IF they pull the left lever.

Big deal. I want actual trials, of Democrats, after the November elections.

It may be an oppurtunity for companies to humiliate the demons if they show up with the right ammo.

The corporation involved have an obligation to their shareholders to disclose this type of information and hit to the bottom line this year - prior earnings estimates are impacted, big time. It’s the right and fair thing to do, plus its probably legally necessary under corporate guidelines, etc.

Having hearings is just more fed government BS.

Excellent idea. I wonder if they would be allowed to continue once the demons figured out what they were doing. Would be interesting. These are very interesting times. Frighteningly interesting.

More evidence that they don’t plan to have elections.

We need a few of these heads of large corporations to attend these hearings.
Then.....when it is their turn before the Inquisition to tell it straight to the TV cameras that Waxman works for them and the American people. We do not answer to him - the elected representative, but he to them and tell Waxman to shove it.

Then get up and walk out.

Our officials in DC are way too cocky and self-important. Vote the bastards out while it can be done.

If I were the head of one of these companies that was dragged in for a show trial, I would not be polite and allow the Rat SOB’s to lecture me about not lying down and taking it.

On the Sunday news shows today, Dims (e.g. Schumer and V. Jarret) have been claiming that Obamacare allows 100 percent write off of all drug benefits provided by private companies. I.e. implying that these companies reporting a net liability will actually have a net benefit.

I more than strongly suspect that's just another brazenly outrageous lie. BUT, if it is true, then these companies would be making FALSE REPORTS to the SEC. Which I think (?) would be a pretty serious violation of law. So it will be interesting to see if the Dims actually ever make a charge of false filings. If they don't, they will as much as prove themselves (yet again) to be liars.
