In Response.....

I saw an article on Yar-hoo.  It was about the Glenn Beck 8/28 rally in DC.  Linked Here.  Here is is one of the comments from 3815G posted in it's entirety.  I was just wanting to comment on his comment.

"The right wing conservatives and Tea Party are undermining and destroying our trust in government.

Tax evaders who run to other states and OTHER COUNTRIES to avoid paying taxes, which would fund things like oil drilling and pipeline safety, are leading to the massive underfunding of our federal, state and local governments that would normally do things like monitor oil drilling and pipeline safety, fund schools, build roads, monitor labor conditions, monitor and regulate food safety & giant agribusiness operations as well as make sure are water and environment are not being polluted/destroyed by reckless business/manufacturing practices.

The 50 states of the U.S. should band together and tell big business that they will not continue to recieve tax cuts when they threaten to leave one of our states or move to AUTHORITARIAN COMMUNIST CHINA, Southeast Asia or other countries that abuse workers and the environment.

Our states are all now heavily indebted because of this practice and our schools and other government services are now being shut down. China's river and ground water is now some of the most polluted on earth from multinational/corporate abuses caused by these tax, labor and environmental law evaders who have fled to China from all the nations of the world to do business. This ground water will stay polluted for MANY years with heavy metals and various factory and farm chemicals sickening MILLIONS of Chinese citizens.

The Chinese government now distributes and sells water filters as well as face masks to their citizens so they can drink water and breathe air without getting sick.....have any of you ever seen news photos from China?.....do you ever wonder why their often wearing face mask......it's because the air is so filthy from poorly regulated multinational manufacturing. Poor people who can't afford these face masks and water filters simply get sick

The last administration loaded the E.P.A. with leaders who cow tow to big business/oil companies etc., Now were seeing the results of this cowardice and greed with increased oil spills and other eco-system damage.

Those believing that tax cuts as well as big business worshipping are the answer to all worldwide woes are creating a cult or fanatical religious sect which has tax cuts and destruction of government at it's center.

Tax cuts and destruction of civil government in favor of giant corporations and the rich will not bring riches and blessing to any country but anarchy and DESTRUCTION to lands, water people and air.

Corporations are not democratic institutions and need the hand of democratic government and it's people to guide them. Not regulating corporate excess leads to the destruction of all commerce and eventually these corporations themselves will collapse when world resources become exhausted because of abuse. Being a responsible U.S./world citizens that allow the hand of democratic governments to guide them is in these multinational corporation"s best interest.

Destruction and undermining of governments and tax bases will not only destroy governments but also business. The rule of law is what makes just and fair capitalism possible and healthy, not the destruction of government.

The U.S. and European governments are not big but increasingly small as the tax base becomes increasingly degraded and undermined by multinational power and extortion. The U.S. is a nation of 300 million who needs a government of fairly large size to regulate our markets, which are the world's largest. Regulation requires an adequate tax base to hire, train and employ regulators who can and will stop/prevent multinational extortion and abuse. Without adequate govenment we are at the mercy of non-democratic multinational corporate powers accountable to NO ONE and motivated only by increasing profits beyond sustainable levels."

 The first thing out of his mouth tell's me what kind of bone head he is.  Concervitism and the Tea Party's are not destroying our trust in the Government.  The Government is destroying our trust in the Government.  It's corupt or inept people like Pete Stark, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and don't get me started on the local level Government. 

Then he goes on to rant about Capitalism and the environment.  What a crackhead.  How about this... Lets just get rid of all big business and while we are at it, let's make it hard for any business to grow and prosper.  Lets just jump from one extreme to another.  Me need to find middle ground and stay there.  Right now we are far left of center thanks to..............
