Ah, Kiwi? I think we both know that it's ridiculous to make the statement that banks and corporations are looking for zero taxes and zero regulations. They aren't holding our economy "hostage". They are being very cautious about making any large investments with the current political climate. Who can really blame them? I don't see banks and corporations as the enemy as you seem to. Sorry, I just don't.For some, hate for Obama supersedes what is morally right. Screw Obama, but don't screw Main Street America!
You see it's not 0bama the man, it's 0bama the policies. He's a pretty likeable fellow, just not a very good president.
I'm very aware of Obama's policies, it's also out do-nothing-Congress. I for one am not voting for any incumbent in 2012, be they Dem or Repug.
But,,in the same breath I am very angry at the banks and private corporations. They are holding the US economy hostage just so they can get what they want, which is zero taxes, zero regulations and that makes zero responsibility. In my book that's blackmail.
How anyone can side with banks and corporations baffles me.
The Bible preaches about greed and dishonesty,,,,,often.
