They are evil my friend. The effects that corporations have both directly and indirectly on both people and the environment are terrible. If an individual was caught doing the things that corporations are allowed to get away with, he or she would get life or be executed.
@scrxbandit
Nazism is a branch of state socialism. Fascism is a branch of corporatism.
Watch money as debit
@BobGeorgeAU for fuck’s sake it says in god we trust on our money. America is bound to collapse over time (a very long time). some day America will be in history books along with the Roman empire etc…
fascism is a branch of socialism. you say corportation and fascism in the same sentence.
@MayonR Private insurance companies are corporations that took over our entire health care system a long time ago- and reform did nothing to change that fact. Obama is a product of the corporations as have all our presidents for the last 50 years.
@gigerone Like TYT says, corporations are amoral. Their mission is to maximize profits. They have no mandate to do what is in the best interest of the country. If the corporation would maximize profits under fascism, then fascism is where the corporations will try push us. The most powerful voices are those that do not have the country’s best interests in mind.
@LivingForTheFuture
Yes, they would. There’ll always be work to do on this planet. We got a lot to fix here. And if we run out of work… well, what then? Maybe then we’ll have more time for our kids, our neighbours, …ourselves. To grow within.
Economy run by corporations is just one (perverted) way of numerous options to do economic activity.
So excellent to watch you guys again at TYT
@gsuitter and ron Paul will probably be knocked off by the evil elite…
USA = Corporate Totalitarian State
Ron Paul would reign in the banksters and also audit, if not eliminate, the Federal Reserve Bank. He would restore sound currency so the money you save maintains it’s value and appreciates with interest. He would eliminate the planned inflation tax that causes our currency to loose it’s value.
Obama pretty much does as he is told.
Oh gee! Did we just let them takeover our entire health care system? Oh yea. and I’m glad you po8inted out Obama is a product of the corporations. Funny I happened on this video. I actually had a tear in my eye for America tonight.
The surfaces we set in place, the more our taxes have to be raised to pay for them, then more taxes means less hiring, less R&D and we, any half wit should figure this out.
By the way, if all large corporations are painted bad then that is not fair, nor realistic. Not all corporations are ran by crooks. The more factory jobs we bring back here the more prosperous our economy becomes, the more jobs are there. Socialzied solutions are not the answer weather it is government bailouts, unemployment services or welfare.
We need corporate America. We need the rich to hire the less rich. If it were not for large corporations the middle class would be out of work pertaining to factory jobs and other large corporate areas. When the government interferes with corporations then that is bad and interferes with the free-market. The more bailouts and regulation the more the economy suffers. It you do let them fail then they will never learn from there errors. The nice thing about the free-market is it can adapt.
greed is gravity.
Young Turks, i always amazed at what you are saying and we all know this is the internet…. without disregarding your option and views. A suggestion, could you attach to your clips some of the fact you discuss i was quoting you about an issue but end up asking the question where did i get my fact from…. so a suggestion in which you can strengthen your program. I want to say to your team that make your web cast available “Sincere ty for standing up for those of us who can’t”

@LivingForTheFuture but this is slavery. The coporations “they wont get rid of us because they need us we have all the jobs”. thats the reason people will work for anybody when they are broke and they will do ANYTHING to get the job and aNYThING to keep it. No matter how bad they treat us and pay us crap wages, or deny our sick. We cant get rid of them because they have the jobs. Who’s your Daddy, the billion dollar coporations.
I have no problem with someone being as rich as they can possibly get even though i think its ridiculous to have more money than you can spend in your lifetime. And that money will be passed on to offspring and thats a generation who didnt have to work their way up, (but that is a different story lol). but system where it has more homeless and hungry people than financially secure people its a problem.
What we have to accept, is that we have a broken system, a system that nurtures a human instinct of greed with no boundaries. And with a system like this there will always be homeless, sick, and hungry people. I actually am not for government, i am for a scaled down version of community managing, bringing the power back to the people. But so many are unaware of what this system does to many people.
@HostileNegotiator Most people wouldn’t have jobs without corporate america, sad but true, I think they do more good that harm.
Buy food, pay for basic amenities AND THATS IT> STOP BUYING OVERPRICED JUNK YOU DO NOT NEED. Then it will collapes, they will declare martial law, and suddenly the numbers of people tired of the bullshit actually MATTER compared to their flawed systems of enslavement. Just STOP.
see everyone has this notion we have to “kill” the current system; it is DYING people, what everyone needs to do IS LET IT DIE. Stop investing in the schemes of others, stop accepting the bullshit that comes down the pipe from governments, federal and state/provincial/municipal, just STOP.
I mean there are some sociophathic types who make excellent liars and are ruthless in getting their way but clever at not getting caught. Now all the corporation has to do is turn a blind eye or slowly find their ranks (top down?) filling with these types. Being amoral they the corporations don’t check on moral character if they don’t have too, so the corruption is open to setting in. I.E. the amoral have no checks or balances about hiring evil if it gets a job done.
MMMmm, I’ve just read something similar on another site.
