Wanker-Boy, is a useless troll, of undetermined nationality, who undermines the values of az/ca.politics, and America by distracting from the serious discussion of the corporate coup now taking place in America. demarc/Garbage tries to block debate, and the presentation of facts that differ from his own seditious beliefs. Why are you so UN-American, demarc? Garby, why do you hate America? ------ The "Baggers" are just the Koch brothers sock-puppets trying their own form of the "Shock Doctrine". The real hostage holders of the Republican Party (and, to a lesser extent, the Democratic Party) are the hogs in a trough bankers, and industrialist who stole 40 percent of America's wealth from 2007 to 2010. Goldwater would never have recognized this band of crooks as Republicans. This is where the problems with the pension funds, unemployment, home foreclosures, and bankrupt cities began. ----- Americans for Prosperity Begins $25 Million Anti-Obama Ad Campaign ORLANDO, Fla. -- Americans for Prosperity, the Tea Party organization backed by the Koch brothers, is set to begin a $25 million advertising assault aimed at President Obama, its largest effort to date. (cont.) ------ Donations to '12 Romney election campaign 1 Goldman Sachs $636,080 2 JPMorgan Chase & Co $502,874 3 Morgan Stanley $476,300 4 Bank of America $465,850 5 Credit Suisse Group $421,310 Remember these "Too Big to Fail" guys? In the long list of culprits, it is natural to begin at the bottom, with the mortgage originators. Mortgage companies had pushed exotic mortgages on to millions of people, many of whom did not know what they were getting into. But the mortgage companies could not have done their mischief without being aided and abetted by the banks, and rating agencies. The banks bought the mortgages and repackaged them, selling them on to unwary investors. U.S. banks and financial institutions had boasted about their clever new investment instruments. They had created new products which, while touted as instruments for managing ? risk, were so dangerous that they threatened to bring down the U.S. financial system. The rating agencies, which should have checked the growth of these toxic instruments, instead gave them a seal of approval, which encouraged others ‹ including pension funds looking for safe places to put money that workers had set aside for their retirement ‹ in the United States and overseas, to buy them. In short, America's financial markets had failed to perform their essential societal functions of managing risk, allocating capital, and mobilizing savings while keeping transaction costs low. Instead, they had created risk, misallocated capital, and encouraged excessive indebtedness while imposing high transaction costs. At their peak in 2007, the bloated financial markets absorbed 41 percent of profits in the corporate sector. So don't feel bad about asking these guys to pay a little more in taxes now. ----- During the savings-and-loan scandal of the 1980s--a scandal whose dimensions, by today's standards, seem almost quaint--the banker Charles Keating was asked by a congressional committee whether the $1.5 million he had spread among a few key elected officials could actually buy influence. "I certainly hope so," he replied. The Supreme Court, in its recent Citizens United case, has enshrined the right of corporations to buy government, by removing limitations on campaign spending. The personal and the political are today in perfect alignment. Virtually all U.S. senators, and most of the representatives in the House, are members of the top 1 percent when they arrive, are kept in office by money from the top 1 percent, and know that if they serve the top 1 percent well they will be rewarded by the top 1 percent when they leave office. - JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ an American economist and a professor at Columbia University. He is a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2001) and the John Bates Clark Medal (1979). He is also the former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank ----- Love him, or hate him, Michael Moore is right on this one. America is not broke. Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe, so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich. Right now, this afternoon, just 400 Americans - 400 - have more wealth than half of all Americans combined. Let me say that again. And please, someone in the mainstream media, just repeat this fact once. We're not greedy; we'll be happy to hear it just once. Four hundred obscenely wealthy individuals, 400 little Mubaraks, most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion-dollar taxpayer bailout of 2008, now have more cash, stock and property than the assets of 155 million Americans combined. - Michael Moore -- Welcome to the New America. or E Pluribus Unum Green Party Nominee Jill Stein & Running Mate, Cheri Honkala --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www.
