"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"
This is one of Newtons Three Laws of Motion.

And it is correct.

Even in social sciences like political science.

What this means is that the thirty years of Reagan-Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama policies are about to end.

This could not happen soon enough.

Privatization will only lead us further down the rat-hole.

Lifting taxes, tariffs, and restrictions will only lead us further down the rat-hole.

THIS is what is killing us

THIS is why we are gathered at various Occupy Movements

We need not just regulation, but a serious commitment from the government that if any company behaves in an unethical manner, they will be nationalized

This is what we need in our government.

Fines mean nothing

For example, under the new HRC act, if an insurance company denies HC to someone with pre-existing conditions, they get fined $100 per day.

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER DAY

WTF is up with that?

They might as well just slap them on the wrist, because that is what they make in a second

If the government had the ability to nationalize an unethical corporation, that WOULD strike fear in the hearts of the CEOs, the CFOs, the people who make these calculations

I am just saying

2. I guess the phantom unreccer hopes the actions remain strictly one-sided?
Good post, though...
