Reply #8: We have to trade. And all the mid sized industries will be gone and those [View All]

jobs replaced with small business with much lower profits for people. Hard to be paying payroll taxes when everyone will be working for themselves so the idea that we do not have to share risk across all classes is more important than ever. That is why shared risk programs like health care are needed and yes the rich much pay a proportionally greater portion of taxes. And that means that if people face lower salaries and fight inflation for the stock market - the profits of the stock market do their part in paying for great schools & medicine. Or they will metastisize into the machines some of them already are and become the uber elite and try and control information - the result - dark ages.

Yes corporations need to be rehumanized - at least the ones who put this lot in power. I don't think forcing Ford or Microsoft to choose between the religious right and gays & liberals makes any sense whatsoever.

I hope corporations are waking up - cause it isn't a worthwhile world to live in when Katrinas happen and nobody does anything.
