Don't forget the lessons of the Bush years of 2000-2008. Wall Street is not a partner to the USA people.
Those years exploited the people of this country for every dime it could without any LOYALTY.
They played the populous like a finely tuned fiddle and then abandoned us for greener pastures.
There is a profound message in Michael Moore's "Roger and Me" and "Bowling for Columbine" that needs to reverberate through the electorate of the USA.
Corporate America is not interested in the nation's problems unless they can make lots of money.
When Roger took his auto machine out of the country to AVOID the cost of USA labor there is a profound message in that and it doesn't just apply to Flint, Michigan. Flint, Michigan is a lesson in 'trusting' Wall Street in a guileless way. There is nothing 'guileless' about Wall Street and there is absolutely NO mysticism as if some kind of strange religion.
Wall Steet is about money. That is their god. Money has no conscience. It is a commodity. If you don't believe that then recall the time you blew your last $20.00 before payday and wished you did differently.
There is absolutely NOTHING tying Health Insurance Companies to their OBLIGATION to provide American consumers with a quality service. It is why "Sicko" was able to portray the cruelty of the industry so well. Those companies have no loyalties, except to stockholders and the CEOs have no compassion except to their bonuses and maxing out the profit quarter after quarter.
The USA has a problem. Wall Street learned they could push 'their beasts' over the edge of fiscal sanity and they will be bailed out and bailed out big. They not only learned the 'benefit' of fear in the USA society, they learned that even after they achieved goals they could only dream of, the people that feared the worst could still be abandoned.
They are also learning all too clearly that the lives of Americans don't matter and the Supreme Court will back that up. Wall Street learned that unmitigated fiscal mayheim can be facilitated by the Supreme Court to hold political figures in abiding loyalty to their corporations.
The sovereignty of the USA is being transferred from its people to the corporations of Wall Street by the Republicans. They PRIVATIZE everything WITHOUT regulating it and then blame the people when all fails and the profiteers have to be bailed out. Now, if people don't see that, then put you lives in the hands of Wall Street and realize you have no control over your health care or the fiscal outcome of your country.
As long as this 'pirating' of the USA government continues people will suffer and the country will fall into greater and greater peril.
The lessons of "Roger and Me," "Bowling for Columbine" and "Sicko" have a common theme. Very common theme. Corporate America has too much power over the lives of Americans.
The country's infrastructure is being eroded because Republicans CANNOT act to protect the people of this nation. They pander to Wall Street and offer huge 'incentives' that Americans pay for in one way.
It is time to stop this insanity. Cities in this nation, ACROSS THIS NATION and not only in California are facing pressures to make decisions based on increasing costs on health care. Those decisions 'DOWNSIZE' their work force and reduce benefits to employees while increasing their costs. Eventually, when Corporate American has drained the country dry and Americans are completely depleted of their quality of life they will move on and leave real human carnage in their wake.
Americans have to come to terms with their reality and have their legislatures deal with it. Retreating into pandering to Wall Street on Health Care is NOT going to stop this slide it will only make it worse. We have witnessed that with the first paragraphs of the Republican Health Care Bill.
Think about it.
This is not a political game, it is about the American Dream and whom has control of it.
LOCALIZE YOUR ECONOMIES.
It is an act of patriotism and preserves the economic sovereignty of the country. There is a place for Wall Street, but, it is in SPECULATION and not economics.
The country needs to get its balance of reality back.
