>Congrats, America. The corporations run our country. I'm in the middle of reading It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, which is a novel about exactly that. -Z

I read somewhere today that there are 8 health care lobbyists for every senator. Are we all getting the picture of why the GOP is so successful at beating back health care reform? 2+2=4, folks. Congrats, America. The corporations run our country. The rich elite of this country don't want it. You should read Jim Cramer.....he's apoplectic over the issue. His cronies and he go on and on about it every day. They despise Obama. And Cramer claims he's a Dem. The rich elite have ruled this country for decades. I never realized it until the past ten years how much they control this country. Its insidious how they have worked the American public......getting us to hate the Europeans....to despise their way of life and to suggest their political and economic systems were one step away from communism. How they have made accepting any kind of economic help from the gov't a wicked and unpatriotic act. How they grew our military so they could prosper while claiming we need it for our security......a military that makes the rest of the world look puny. How they have made health care mostly the exclusive provence of their peers and their underlings. And with each passing decade.....as they got their way......they grew more brazen until the arrival of GW Bush when they decided to go after the US Treasury and rape it of all its money. They should never have allowed the creation of the internet and made it a part of the public domain. Its how Obama got elected. It may be their undoing. I know you don't agree with everything I am saying but if you research this stuff enough, you will see that what I am saying is very true. Americans have to wake up and realize what's being done. They get bits and pieces of it but I still don't think they have the entire picture. Time is running out.
