NO MORE Corporate Welfare
Don't tell me we don't have money for health care for all, or that we don't have money for infrastructure, etc.

Billions of taxpayers money has been given to bankers and corporations while hundreds of thousands of tax payers have lost their jobs.

Stop bleeding the people for the rich.

4. Agreed! Pouring trillions of dollars into banks is only helping banks.
We need to help PEOPLE!

We are getting robbed, and the administration is coordinating this robbery for the banks because the big-money donors and lobbyists have told them too. x(

We need this administration to be ours, not theirs.

11. no, there's still more bleeding coming. all signs point to it. can't wait for the GM
bankruptcy, that should be the icing on the cake.

12. K&R #11 - Baucus & cronies want to turn health "reform" into the mother-of-all corporate welfare....


....bills.

The GOP corrupted the "Medicare Prescription drug Benefit" into a vehicle that enriched Big Pharma, allowed them to jack up the prices of prescription drugs at an unprecedented rate over the years subsequent to the bill (not only to Medicare beneficiaries, but to everyone), with only the illusion of benefit to beneficiaries.

Corporate welfare destroys our government's financial capacity to fund real, necessary reforms.

If & when Max Baucus & his cronies in the corporate healthcare mafia come up with the mother-of-all corporate welfare bills (disguised as, and labeled as, "healthcare reform"), WE WILL DEFEAT IT. We will not allow the corporatists to destroy chance of EVER enacting real reform by the passage of pseudo-reform that entrenches the enemies of reform.

How gullible do the corporate clowns think we are?
