7. Thanks...and you are right..no one would carry the ad
The whole issue is really very simple..it's about the MONEY ..

You take the money out and the greed out, and the bare bones are still there..

It would be such a good thing for the honest people out here would would love to run for office, but never get the chance.

But..it scares the hell out of lobbyists and corporate masters, to think that their influence migtht "go away"...and laws they used to have to obey, might come back..

The robber-barons were taken down once before, and they are not going to allow that to happen again..that's why they "invented" the charade that "we are all in it together".

Day after day on the "financial" channels, they drone on and on about how invested the average american is these days, and how we all benefit...but every generation, the money-grubbers manage to pull off some outrageous scam and steal all our money.

It happened with the savings & loan debacle, it happened with the dot-coms, it happened with Enron,Tyco,Worldcom,Adelpia, etc..and when there will be more trouble ahead with the pension substitute they gave us (401-ks)..just watch..

They are trying desperately to screw us out of Social Security, and someday they will succeed..

They devise "vehicles" to attract our money, and when the goose is nice and fat from all our feeding of it...they slay it and gobble it up...

Our politicians, the ones we hire to help us, let them write the rules to help them screw us..

and we are expected to give thanks all around..
