    I do too, well to a point. As long as these F-ing companies stay honest and aren't only in it to screw everyone. well for the most part it worked for a few decades..

    Good read. I agree. I still have yet to understand why a lot of people were in a fuss because Texas "talked" of secession. BFD. 1st Amendment people. The Federal government is much too large and too intrusive. It is the problem, not the answer.

    Bush broke so many laws,
    i cant think of any, actually. they have tried to bring impeachment more than a few times and could not because there was no legal basis for it. you can disagree with every word that he said, but that does not make it illegal.
    Mainly he invaded a country that had no reason to be invaded, Iraq! But if you truly "think" he and his admin didn't break any laws here's something... http://blog.buzzflash.com/alerts/95

    In other words... someone is always going to be setting policy, making regulations and determining how the world works. For me, I would rather have a government perform these tasks over some faceless corporate entity, who are only interested in profit, and who already have a disproportional amount of influence on governments, worldwide.
    you would much rater have some faceless government bureaucrat who are only interested in profit (through taxation) and power.

    so govt only cares about profit and power... wow that's a great way of thinking. if that was true than all the govt programs would cost people to use them, I would be charged to go to the VA for treatment. Kuzi, I know your a smart guy, so why would you say something like that. The govt doesn't keep raising interest rates on people to 400percent or 50 percent or 100 percent like credit card companies, banks make people pay large apr's for loans when they pay little or no interest, insurance companies keep raking up the rates, millions of dollars from the banking industry used to push down bills to help the american working class, large corporations taking 401ks from working people to pay their bonus's and share holders (enron is a great example)... The list goes on man. This whole thing about our Govt. being only interested in profit and power is a right wing republican lie. And it is just not the banks and large corporations, it's also the representatives taking their money and passing or stopping laws. I do believe it's up to the people to elect good officials but that's a hard sell. So many of them lie their way to office (like how many presidents have shoved health care and educations down voters throat on how they would fix it but once they get into office, eh that's isn't that important) and people are taken in by the lies from false media and propaganda, that echoes the statement you just replied to laker's quote, you would much rater have some faceless government bureaucrat who are only interested in profit (through taxation) and power. And just to be fair, I don't think that the left is that great either, I disagree with many of their policies but far less than the right. All I know is there is finally a governing body that is trying to put an end to the large corporate hold on this country and it's being fought left and right from the massive amount of greed and people who want to continue to cripple this country.

    I have personal experience trying to fight a "local" bank over charges they made on my account. In total fees which was not my fault, 458 dollars. why, well because the bank with-held my check over the weekend from my work (so normal direct deposit) and I had a automatic payment which came out on Monday (day after the weekend) at 902 am, well the bank released the funds just after that transaction went through. I got all the documents which all had dates and times of their mistake but they just said, oh well we can't refund all the money but here's a 50 dollar charge-back. I hired an attorney and after a few weeks finally got it all taken care of, but it ended up costing me much more than the 400 dollars. especially when I had to take off work to look for one, and gas, and more days off to meet with them. That's when I fully learned that middle income people are really on the noose by banks and large companies. This wasn't even a super large company...
