speaking of conspiracy theories, is there any confirmation that those pdfs are real? the whole story is very tinfoil hat in its presentation, very common sense in its content :/

Lobbying should be a federal crime as far as I'm concerned. It's obvious that with solid proof (assuming that this isn't some BS cooked up to look like the truth) lobbying has done nothing but help drive the country into the vile state it's in. The people no longer have a voice.

"PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT NATION, OUR DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ASSAULT! CORPORATIONS HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MEMBERS OF OUR GOVERNMENT TO UNDERMINE OUR LIBERTY. NOW IS THE PIVOTAL MOMENT WHERE WE STAY A FREE NATION OR BECOME A NEO-FEUDAL SOCIETY. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED SO WE CAN ENJOY OUR FEW RIGHTS. JOIN ME IN! NO RACE, CREED, GENDER, SOCIO-ECONOMIC STRATUM OR ORIENTATION WILL BE DENIED. THIS AFFECTS US ALL, THAT IS WHERE SO MANY REVOLUTIONS HAVE FAILED; THEY COULD NOT SEE THIS WAS ALL CONNECTED. WE WILL NOT BE SEDATED. WE WILL NO LONGER BE A NATION OF SLEEPWALKERS. WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT, NOT CORPORATIONS! STOP THE BULLSHIT PESSIMISM, COURAGE IS STRONGER THAN COWARDICE. WE ARE A HUNDRED MILLION PLUS VOTING VOICES. THEY ONLY HAVE SO FEW!
WE WILL MARCH TO WASHINGTON AND LET OUR GRIEVANCES BE HEARD.
WE WILL CREATE A FORUM WHERE JUSTICE WILL BE BROUGHT TO ALL CORRUPT OFFICIALS AND THEIR FINANCIAL BACKERS FOR SUBVERTING OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
WE WILL END IMPERIAL WARS
WE WILL INVEST IN OUR OWN PEOPLE, THE TRUE WEALTH OF NATIONS
WE WILL HAVE TRUE TRANSPARENCY
WE WILL HAVE A FAIR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
WE WILL HAVE AN EDUCATION SYSTEM DEVOTED TO TRULY EDUCATING OUR YOUNG POPULATION
WE WILL HAVE STRONGER UNIONS FOR OUR WORKERS
WE WILL HAVE A FAIR TAX SYSTEM
WE WILL HAVE A CLEANER ENVIROMENT
WE WILL STOP THE BULLSHIT!"
*rounds of applause*
Anyone else excited?, cause I`m ready to march >.>
LET MY PEOPLE GO!
This isn't new. See the mickey mouse protection act of 1998...
Again, I think most of you are missing the point. Of course we knew of this stuff going on, but not in a tangible way.

I hate the acceptance that businesses are always going to try and serve their self interest and not that of the public, as if there is no obligation for businesses to operate morally. Obviously politicians shouldn't be getting dirty like this. Businesses should be expected not to be evil fuckers as well.
capitalism is a huge joke
who said anything about being evil? businesses want laws that don't fuck them and their employees. sounds reasonable to me! politicians should serve the public.
sorry, I should have said non-disposable employees ;(
keep riding my dick corrections
are you delusional? sure, nobody in the world can pump gas or file an insurance claim as gloriously as you!
