DUmmies upset over company profits.
« on: January 31, 2009, 12:48:18 AM »
DUmmies are still angry and bitter that Obama hasn't nationalized everything in sight and that some people have the temerity not to hand over all their money in a paper bag to the poor.

Sick! Wall St. $18,000,000,000 in Bonuses at Christmas & ExxonMobil made $45,200,000,000 last year

To hell with 'big business' - I'm beyond furious as millions of Americans are losing their jobs or their homes these past few years - even people in my own family, and these arrogant criminal scam artists enjoy major wealth at the expense of taxpayer debt through the bailout, and then through our wallets with big oil/energy.

I will make it my top issue this year (pushing Congress to have oversight of business & force them to punish those who scam America) and will be giving it the most energy I give any issue. We're on the edge of the cliff here just waiting for a strong breeze to push us over the edge - any major event could very well send us, because of our national economic health, into a long-term national Depression.

Anyone know of any groups who focus on this, please let me know, I'd like to join them or support them, because an oil company making about $1500 a second last year in PROFIT (that's 5.4 Million a minute!) is unconscionable to allow in this country when there's widespread job loss and poverty (there's a word you rarely here even now). We need a full national effort to push clean energy in our automobiles now - imagine if every car ran on batteries - how awesome that would be, and the price would drop on the cost of them if the gov't got involved with major incentives to buy one - we need to break big oil's hold on the world. I'd like to hear what groups are the best to get organized with, and that use their donations wisely.

The most energy you have...oh no .. You're going to send four extra emails to all and sundry. Whatever shall congress do under such a overwhelming show of force ?

1. There is a phrase in Japanese to describe them.
   
"Kajiba no dorobo". It means "Thief at the scene of a fire". It refers to someone who waits until there is a fire so they can steal into the house unnoticed and rob the place blind.

We need a new Teddy Roosevelt to deal with these thieving swine.

Someone needs to **** their shit up.

What a productive adult mentality you have.

4. exactly! so bad! never mind I'm all for nationalizing energy, and never mind he gave to help
   
people suffering in this country. W needs locked up with the rest of the cabal. I'm fully expecting the Obama Adm. to lock them all up - if not, and the money isn't seized - they will have gotten away with massive theft and massive warmongering for profit.

Arrest the filthy capitalist pigs and seize their Ponies !!11!

Sorry, I don't take advice or listen to idiots.  When it comes to things about the economy and you want to get 'up in arms' you should know how to do BASIC math;

Now, maybe I'm missing something here but $1,500 x 60 seconds equals $90,000 on my calculator.  Where in the HELL do you come up with $5.4 million?  1,500 x 3,600 = $5.4 million.  But hey, DUmbass that would be an HOUR.  You FAIL on both counts.

Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican.

More specifically, he was a CONSERVATIVE who served two terms as a Republican. He actually ran on the "Bull Moose (Progressive) Party" 4 years after his second term ended as he, and many others, were dissatisfied with his Republican succesor, William H. Taft's, policies and ended up losing to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.  Note: The Progressive Party in 1912 had very little in common with the current progressive/socialist movement.

GOP Congress fails to add one other thing--TR was a conservationist.  (And a heluva hunter, to boot.)
