3. Disgusting. Absolutely Disgusting.

We've all worked for a sociopath like this guy.

At least we came out alive.

NOT Cenk! Blankenship!

That goes for ALL of this fucking business criminals of EVERY stripe already.

Goldman?
Lehman?
AIG?
Massey?

They are all the same - exploiters and thieves! Sociopaths that have no proper place in this world and the rest of us would collectively be better off without them!

5. The definition of a sociopath
is exactly what Blankenship and most other CEO's, fit, exactly. The "new feudalism" that has taken over our nation has to be stopped. America has the worst wealth distribution of any country in the world. These are facts that the teabaggers or neo-cons can not dispute. The poverty rate in America is one of the highest in the "top 20 countries" in the world. 80% of Americans own only 3% of our nations wealth. Why do the (mostly near the poverty line)
teabaggers rail against wealth redistribution? It is insanity. Our Congress is made up of (at least) millionaires. How can they represent the average, impoverished, American? They can't. They have no idea and as long as they can profit, just like the CEO's and banksters, off of the suffering of the majority of Americans, they don't care. We must have a "New Deal" like the one FDR offered Americans. If we as the majority of Americans can't see the reality of our existence and come together for the purpose of equality, then we don't stand a chance. All of the media propaganda is meant to divide us so we can be conquered easily. It is working better than they could have imagined. Tax cuts? Come on. We must raise the taxes of the wealthy to the levels of previous generations. We have to tax the wealth, not cut the few programs for the poor. We have politicians getting paid millions a year, to not plant crops on the huge tracts of land they own. We must organize non-violent resistance by the 80% that owns so little, we can change our country. We always hear funny stories about "unused French weapons." The people of France have fought and won their equality form their government and their lives and wealth distribution, are much, much better than ours. We can do this non-violently. I am sure that the wealthy will kill some of us, non-violence is a concept they don't understand. If we were to bring commerce to it's knees, through active protests and marches, like Dr. King did, only on a larger scale, we would win.
