(Corporate) America just wants to spread a little freedom...
1. Freedom to dip their fingers into the ME oil reserves.
2. Freedom to pay pennies a day for third world labor.
3. Freedom to import laborers from countries where $5.75 an hour seems like a fortune.
4. Freedom from product responsibility (Bring back Vioxx: It won't kill EVERYONE)
5. Freedom to profit off of the destruction of our environment.
6. Freedom to ignore genocide in countries with little or no natural resources.
7. Freedom to drive out all small "Mom and Pop" businesses.
8. Freedom from punitive measures (Ken Lay)



What other "Freedoms" are we spreading today?

3. leaves out unemployed and those returning if possible to labor force, not
to mention individuals who have been seeking work so long, that they are now unaccounted for and have fallen off roles for ranks of unemployed, those damaged by now bad credit, who right wing HR people refusing to now hire after doing credit checks or even fired for same after been hired and worked in some cases for over a year.
