1. the teabaggers party, freedom works, turd blossoms' crossroads, republicans 'owned' by koch industry

Edited on Sun Jul-31-11 02:20 AM by divine_truine

the masquerade is over. citizen's united ruling last year by teabagger majority on supreme court allows for corporate corruption to become the worst we've seen to date!

Keep rising up! People! we have those sinister corpora-tacracies on the run (metaphorically speaking) & they are finding out their greed & lust for false power is unsustainable & doomed to fail!

The power of LoveLightIYou is revealing a new earth that has been in the making for 13 millenniums.

2. The Koch brothers are poster boys for an inheritance tax if there ever were any.

Adam Smith and Teddy Roosevelt, who the Republicans hold up as icons, were both in favor of stiff inheritance taxes.

If money equals political speech, as the Supreme Court seems to have ruled, pigs like the Kochs have voices loud enough to drown out millions of Americans and, in doing so, distort and destroy our fundamental democratic process.

5. No man should be so rich he has nothing left to buy but his government.

Not just stiff. Punitive.
