Many financial greed mongers would ship every single U.S. job they could to a third world country if they could get $.25 more in their annual bonus...  |
ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY BUT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU! - Indeed. Patriotism is dead, and all the flag waving "patriots" we see daily are all bought and paid for by same corporations. If folks traveled a little more that song about land of the free would really sound hollow to them when they realize what has happened to them. Slowly the corporations have been sapping all the freedom the people imagine they have. In the end everything you do is innocuously coerced by corporations to build them more profits.
