Another example of legalized murder by business [View All]

Just today on one page! one page only, people I read where a Republican Frank Murkowski pardoned a company in Alaska after being convicted of CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT DEATH of worker Gary Stone. Like a typical Republican Murkowski felt the punishment was too severe. I suppose the death of a father and husband was not severe? The company had been warned by an expert that there was a high probability of snow slide on the job site according to a report from the state's safety occupational agency (does that remind you of the Republican/Conservative whine about too much government?. Can you imagine what would happen without government agency? This Republican pardon for ciminality will allow this company (Whitewater Engineering/president being Thom Fischer)to have better insurance breaks and opportunities for doing business with federal and state jobs paid for by YOUR tax money. As an individual just how much do you think you'd get away with? Zero! and you know it.
Then on the same page I learn Weyerhaeuser company are using logging practices that have decimated the Norther Spotted Owl by 50%. And get this Weyerhaeuser is on the board of the Forest Stewardship Council. CONFLICT OF INTEREST....even an idiot would understand that.
Along with the report last week of a 19 year old worker losing both his legs due to lax safety observance just boils my blood. Along with the outsourcing, tax breaks, etc we have legalized murder of the common worker. God send us someone who can get these damn big businesses in control before labor is totally demoralized!
