A message to American corporations...

[Joanne98]

Just remember. The whole world was happy Obama was elected. People all over the world. You can't survive globalization when you are supporting racist hatred of Obama.

You're conservative employees have got to go.

The whole world has seen their racist crap on TV and youtube.

The whole world hates them and pretty soon they will hate you and your products.

You're going to hated by everybody on Earth except a small group of evil white Americans.

This is not going away!

It may take awhile but you won't survive it.

1. Here's a poem for you, Joanne!

A corporation isn't real
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel
A legal fiction, an ideal
By right should serve the commonweal.

But when it contravenes this task
Then all of us must duly ask
If law shall be a human tool
Or people play the fiction's fool.

[Uncle Joe]

2. That's a good and most apropos poem, sharesunited

4. Today I was remembering how happy the world was on election night.

There was joy everywhere on earth. And now a small minority of racist conservative american monsters are attacking the most popular man on earth. Why? Because they're evil.

I mean it. I do really think they're evil. There is nothing good about them at all ever.

They may be nice to their family and friends but everything they believe and support is pure evil. Every single policy, every single action, every single thing.

As much as I hate globalization and would just love to kill it, even I have to admit that it's probably impossible at this point. So what if.......

We started asking the people in other countries to help us rid our power structure of the bastards once and for all. All they have to do is stop buying anything from the companies who support the conservatives and their ilk.

We can send out pleas for help in many languages with tea bagger youtube videos attached to them asking them to write to American companies and tell them you refuse to buy their products until these evil filthy monsters are fired.

We can also target managment. No more racists in managment. And NO they aren't fooling anybody.

Everybody loves Obama except them and they're 1 tenth of 1 percent of the world's population. How dare they do this.

This would be a long term project but if it worked we'd be rid of their shit forever.

5. Trouble is, American health insurance companies don't do a lot of business overseas.

Not much call for it.

6. I'm talking about all of American business. They're all intertwined anyway.

They own each others stocks and bonds etc. Commodities are important too. The southern states could be flagged for racism. Why should people of color in other countries by food from people who wish they were dead? They wouldn't IF they knew.

8. the key to healthcare and virtually every other problem facing us . . .

is that no politician, including Obama, is willing to stand up and tell it like it is, i.e. that corporations are the problem . . .

healthcare is probably the prime example at the present time . . . if corporations were cut out of the healthcare equation, we'd have plenty of money to fund a single payer system that covers everyone -- and probably have money left over . . . estimates are that corporate profits, administration, overhead, advertising, marketing, executive salaries and perks, etc. are responsible for nearly a third of our healthcare costs . . . remove those expenses -- none of which have anything to do with providing efficient, quality healthcare -- and the cost problem is solved . . . also solved is the practice of non-medical personnel making daily decisions on healthcare for individuals, some of which are a matter of life and death . . .

the same scenario holds true for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the energy crisis, environmental destruction, agriculture and food production, trade, etc., all of which are driven by corporate profits with no regard for moral or ethical considerations . . . in short, the corporations are running the show, and not even Congress and the president are powerful enough to stand up to them and say "ENOUGH!" . . . even if they wanted to, which apparently they don't . . . could all those corporate campaign contributions have anything to do with this lack of true leadership? . . .

so THE central problem facing us is regaining citizen control over corporations and, by extension, our own government . . . until that is addressed, not much in the way of real progress is going to happen in healthcare, the wars, energy, the environment, agriculture, trade, or any other major issue area . . .
