They want to take our vitamins, minerals and health supplements away. They work for us as taxypayers, well it's time we the people stand up and say enough no more of this.
If you think about it --- here is a lot to occupy. All the nonsense from the past is piling up.
Yeah, and if you look even deeper and trace the problems to their root cause, it all points to the financial/market system which corrupting everything.
Defiantly - Just wonder why it took so long to find out.
But you can not convince the establishment because they all are in there for the same reasons. - Just think about how political arguments are shifting from right to left and opposite. Just for obvious reasons.
And of course how the media promotes everything as if it where a football game with winners and losers. T
here are only temporary motivated winners after a few weeks we are all loosing.
You're right. I was one of the many who opted out of politics years ago out of frustration and the realization that modern politics is a corrupt game. I found this site almost a month ago by accident and in that short time I've gone from disinterested to infuriated. I am literally shocked by what I've discovered that has been going on behind closed doors over the past two or three decades. Two weeks ago I registered to vote again for the first time in twenty years. I'm ready to make a stand. We need to get this country back before it's too late, assuming it isn't already.
* Five stars * I appreciate your comment. Watch the big day tomorrow! All day = 2 month OWS.
Indeed. Tomorrow should be an interesting day.
For years the FDA has been telling us there was no evidence that dietary supplements had any beneficial effects at all. This move, to me, proves otherwise. Once again, a federal government agency is more concerned with restricting the freedoms of its citizens and making a profit than it is about concern for our welfare.
well keep the current staus quo. this movement offer no solutions but offers plenty of complaints
That is not true, the movement is working on solutions to many problems. It began with demanding an end to the greed from Wall Street who got bailed out with the taxpayers footing the bill. That's where the 'they got bailed out, we got sold out' phrase comes from. They are also looking at the banking sector and their greed, one solution is to encourage people to take their money out of banks and put it in credit unions or small, local banks.
One current initiative addressed the foreclosures in this country. Senator Chuck Shumer (from NYC) is sponsoring legislation to add something onto the Visa applications (targeted group is the Mexicans) asking them if they want help securing cheap loans to get a house. If they say yes, they are directed to foreclosed homes that regular Americans have lost.
That ain't what democracy looks like.
The US govt. has no money to help keep funding programs to allow homeowners to restructure their loans, do modifications to lower their payments so they can stay in their homes. The foreclosures will happen, then the govt. will make low interest loans to immigrants who are brought here.
Why would they do this? The immigrants are being wooed to come and work on the gas and oil pipelines, the hard labor jobs that big corporations will pay low wages for, rake in huge profits, and exploit these immigrants. What pipelines? The Keystone Pipeline is a example. Workers have already been brought into Kansas and Oklahoma and helped with housing.
All the new gas fracking pipelines will need people working on them as well. Where will the workers come from? Mexico.
The North American Trade Corridor, no more borders just one big conglomerate of Mexico, the US and Canada. That's the big goal. Do the average Americans know about it? Nope.
Americans should come first, whether you are Mexican-American, Native-American, African-American, Asian-American...etc If you do not come in this country legally why should you be entitled to anything?
You go into other countries and see how they treat you, especially if you get thrown in jail. You got a big fucking heart, but I bet you have not been anywhere. And if you have you should take off those rose colored glasses and see how hard life really is.
Mexicans come to this country cause they want a better life...that should tell you something about how bad they have it. No worries your global ideologies will eventually win out, but trust me when I say be careful what you wish for. New York, Miami, so many bullshit permits...corrupt gov't... What ever..
