As he apppointed his advisors from the big banks like Goldman I think it's safe to assume what side he's really on.

He might tax the upper middle class to appease the poor but he won't go after the finiancial elite.

Time to give up on Obama, he's another puppet.

"Blood Money"

Corporations want to get paid and they dont care who bleeds Thats why my sneakers are made by children over seas And their hourly wage is not enough to eat, but companies get away because no one oversees. man It’s about the G’s, better get em Because I’ve seen the poor get ignored by the system. But in reality I see the poor are the Victims of this cannibal animal called capitalism. Wheres the lack of division between the haves and the have-nots? Chance to advance but they plan so you can not. Get the jail route if you caught with that crack rock get a bail out.... If your crimes are from bad stocks. Cant stop trying to find answers how can they deny coverage when they find cancer. Tax breaks for the rich while the poor trying to buy Pampers. You cant prepare for the life after with your Blood Money.

Wall Street ruins lives for that Blood Money In Iraq soldiers dying for that Blood Money

Politicians committing crimes for that Blood Money Fox News telling lies for that Blood Money

We ignoring human rights for that Blood Money The environment sacrificed for that Blood Money

We all going to pay the price for that Blood Money Thats what they want from me

The Planet gets warmer cuz you filling up your Humvee the cash from countries where kids going hungry. Drug war in Mexico is getting kind of ugly and we support it every time we buy a bag and puff trees. You must see the terrorist that want to bomb you get there money off the drugs you put in your nostrils. And I support that Julian Assange dude he showed us who we killing when we bring them bombs through! Do what I’ve got to, I’m just tryna survive shopping that gross product from off of I-95 Because thats how we was brought up, how we was taught to survive knowing we going to get caught up and locked up for our crimes i’m from where the greed breed hopelessness Politicians on the TV they dont think we notice it. Give me a week of them Wall Street bonuses I’ll take it to the streets and feed homeless kids off of this BLOOD MONEY

That's not true, most foreign investment and job creation by big corporation in poor countries greatly increases their standard of life.

Eventually the market economy will drive up those wages of the 3rd world to that of the 1st world.

Capatilism works, this shouldn't be about ideology. It's about corruption.

Eventually the market economy will drive DOWN the wages of the 1st world, to the level of the 3rd world. That's their plan and u r right - "It is about corruption."

[-] 1 points by Adversus (83) 12 years ago

Possibly if you account for inflation.

However is it OK to live well in the 1st world at the expense of the 3rd.

I don't think we have to accept lower wages in the first due to globalization but we're in a transitional period and citizens in the 1st have to be active. The truth is people's apathy to politics has allowed the financial and political elite to get away with it so far.

Tax large equity individuals not earnings. The current tax system is highly regressive and the top 1% are simply deferring earnings. In the meantime, they are supporting their jetsite country club lifestyle while 25% of Americans are suffering tragically. By the way, why don't we start some national petitions. The first one I would support is breaking up CitiGroup, Chase JP Morgan, and Wells Fargo. They are too large!!
