Are corporations more powerful than government

[sealybobo]

Wow...You really are naïve and incapable of grasping even the most basic concepts, aren't you?

Let's start with the FDA....I doubt that you know it takes $500,000,000 (that's $1/2 BILLION) to bring a new medication to market, because of bureaucratic red tape and general political payola. Now, who is it you think can afford to drop that kind of dough to go through all that nonsense...Eli Lily, or Podunk Labs, of West Backwater, Arkansas??

In the meantime, lots and lots of safe and effective medications for relatively rare disorders are found, yet their cost recoup time is on the order that it doesn't pay to go through all the crap and expense it takes to get these so-called "orphan drugs" approved.....So the unfortunate people with these disorders can just stick their thumbs up their asses so you can have the illusion that Big Daddy Big Gubmint is "protecting" you.

There's an enemy of the much ballyhooed "little guy" here, and it ain't me, Scooter.

I started a thread for you so you can take this shit there.

It's called, DUDE SAID.

And so for the record everyone, Dude doesn't care if the bankers give themselves $2 trillion without going through congress. But he'll bitch about $750 billion and he'll tea bag John McCain if fox tells him to.

Where did I say that??

Link??

C'mon, bozo....If you're going to make these paranoid, hallucinatory, delusional accusations, the least you can do is back them up with a linky or two.

G'head...I have time.

Are private corporations more powerful than our government right now?

I guess you could say that Bush killed millions of Iraqi's. That would be a high number, but it might be true.

But who benefitted? Hunt Oil? Haloburton & Blackwater? CORPORATIONS!

But that does not mean control.

The government could shut down all those companies in a heartbeat. Those corporations couldn't do a thing to the government.

No, not even close.

Governments have killed hundreds of millions of people over the past century. Corporations have not.

Most righties (except Ron Paul righties) are sooo busy defending free markets and capitalism over communism/socialism that they don’t realize it is the corporations that are screwing the middle class.
When we show right wingers that the Federal Reserve is owned by private bankers and before the $750 billion bailout, they already gave themselves $2 trillion, they just don’t reply. I imagine it is too much information for them to take in. Like if you witness a murder or you walk in on your parents doing it. You try to block out the horrific details.
Well Republicans, it is time to get over the shock. Snap out of it. Your party is corrupt and everything you have stood for your whole life has been a bunch of bullshit.
Time to take the country back.
And remember idiots. We’d be all for trickle down and for fiscal conservative economics if they worked or if the GOP were sincere. Who wouldn't? Why wouldn’t we vote GOP if they were better for us? You guys just think the GOP are better for you. Trust us, they are not. You may also be in shock because your home value and stock collapsed. And I know you are used to blaming the Dems, but trust us on this one, the GOP fucked you good. There may have even been a time when the GOP was good. Like when Reagan was president. But those days are long gone. And look at you. You are one of us. A HAVE NOT!!!
We don't HATE corporations. We don't hate the rich. Why when the CEO wants $20 million is it capitalism but when workers want more its socialism?

Regardless ...

The government has the power to kill. Corporations do not.

And government has often used that power.

Ahhh....Another self-declaration of victory, measured by no other criteria than what you can make up on the fly!!

Wait until you meet PubliusInfinitum.
