DESPITE THE PROPAGANDA OTHERS WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE, the 2008 crash and it's resultant transference of wealth from the those who can least afford it to those who already have it is a direct result of "DEREGULATION". There, we have uttered the nasty truth.
From derivatives market gone wild to workplace deaths look to "deregulation" as the culprit. It is an irrefutable truth that it is not big governments or small governments that are evil! It is incompetent, corrupt governments that destroy societies and nations.
Presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Dwight Eisenhower warned us of carpet baggers, banks and the military/industrial complex would steal us blind.
Public corporations that should be returning money to shareholders are using it for mergers and acquisitions, share buybacks and Inflated corporate bonuses. Iphone king Apple has more money than most countries in the bank and still refuses to pay a dividend to it's shareholders. Good, tax their ass and make them give something back to the country that allowed them to prosper! Do it to all the corporations. Close the freaking tax loopholes of the wealthy and make the SEC and IRS do their freaking jobs and go after some value added folk instead of focusing on the ones they know they can afford to beat in court, the workingman/woman.
Read this letter from Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner to House Speaker John A. Boehner and if congress ain't moved in a week, sell all you own and buy ammo and food!
