It's almost time for corporate Democrats to choose a few "electable" candidates for President, and equip them with fancy slogans to confuse the 99%.
Globalization is the economic treason that dare not speak it name.
We are not hated for who we are. We are hated for what we do. It is not our principles that have spawned pandemic hatred of America in the Islamic world. It is our policies.
Sounds
good! Let's nominate that guy!
And if canned campaign rhetoric isn't enough to sell you the next set of corporate stooges, there's always the burning question of electability!
Gotta nominate Gore! He's so electable!
Gotta nominate Kerry! He's so electable!
But if you don't want to wait for the party bosses to vomit yet another corporate stooge onto your ballot in 2016, then maybe you should look around for somebody who was always on your side.
Maybe now is the time to get organized around a candidate who fights for you every day, instead of yet another corporate stooge who recites pretty slogans in the primaries, and then fucks you over for the next four years.
ELIZABETH WARREN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!
US Minimum Wage Should Be $22 An Hour, Says Elizabeth Warren
Warren: Profits from student loans are ‘obscene’
"Chained CPI" is just a fancy way to say "cut benefits for seniors, the permanently disabled, and orphans."
"And the banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created -- are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place," says Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)
What difference does it make who we nominate or elect, if the mega-banks still
own our Congress after all the votes are counted?
For five years we've watched the Justice Department ignore overwhelming evidence of bank crime, on grounds that Attorney General Eric Holder made explicit only last March when he said that "the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute... it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy."
Too big to fail!
But is there any basis for this nauseating claim that all of us would suffer if even so much as one big bank were actually prosecuted for year after year of fraud and illegal manipulation of interest rates, and all the rest of it?
Did anybody ever even ask the question?
Yes!
"Has the OCC conducted any internal research or analysis on the trade-offs to the public between settling an enforcement action without admission of guilt and going forward with litigation as necessary to obtain such admission? If so, can you provide that analysis to the Committee?"
Turn over the rock that these cockroaches are hiding under!
"Too big to fail" is a myth!
And that's what it means to fight for the 99%!
ELIZABETH WARREN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!
Or you can settle for Superman and the Easter Bunny.
