Thread: you know what?

I agree that there are people who have worked hard for their money. Most people are like that. I'm talking about the CEO's of these bailout companies, players who play on professional sports teams, and even politicians. I can't remember the stats, but it's something along the lines of 10% of the population of the world has 90% of the wealth. And most have NOT earned it. You can't tell me that NFL players earn their money, when factory works at GM work twice as hard as they do. And I've seen the work that upper brass work on in large companies. Strategic work in action. It's nothing but people spouting ideas about how to make a profitable company even more profitable. And as far as politicians go, they should earn precisely what the people they are representing make. Middle class wages. Sure he may be the president of the u.s., but a little humility would be nice. Not 400K dollars a year.

It's 6% control 90% of the worlds wealth, glad someone has their eyes open here. The world isn't going to change magically, things will stay status quo until we (collectively) want a change. Obama isn't change just another puppet of different corporations. It doesn't matter who you vote for they are all in it together to make one BIG profit.

How can you tell if a politician is lying? He is talking, And corporations are not here to make your life easier. They are here for one thing and one thing only to make money it is their main goal and the law says they have to do it no matter which includes breaking laws... And guess what they can do whatever the hell they want a corporation is the ultimate being all the rights of a human with no responsibility why do you not see CEO's of corps that are destroying environments or feeding terrorist organizations on trial or in jail? Because there is no liability for them it is their world not yours, not mine, not ours.
