Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.
They did, and got caught. Its costing them millions in penalties, lawsuits and overtime. In short, a matter best handled by the courts, than odiferous ones.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.
Yes, and most was banks paid it back, with interest. Banks should have to accept the doctrine of moral hazard like most of us. If, they require help, require the banks to accept de facto bankruptcy, which obviates compensation packages. Once the auditors have reviewed the bank’s activities, allow the portions that made a profit to collect all, or a portion of their bonuses depending upon goals met. For the money losers, no bonus, salary only. If they threaten to leave, show the exit, while reminding them the greatest concentration of irreplaceable men is found at a cemetery.
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.
Not really, OSHA has regulated safety for years. Other federal inspectors had been in bed (literally) with those they are supposed to inspect.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.
It’s a federal law that student loans may not be dispensed with in bankruptcy court. The government now controls all student loans. Please, pray tell, give incidents when the banks held a gun to a student’s head and demanded they take out a loan. The students did this of their own freewill. In many cases, they chose avenues of learning that couldn’t cover the cost to repay their loans – should have done market research first.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.
Mainly for unskilled labor, get an in-demand skill and they will hire you, even in this economic environment.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.
Crony capitalism produces this monstrosity. Suggest they demonstrate at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And, the DNC HQ. RNC deserves a few zombies outside their doors, as well.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them.
See above! Plus, send a few Pelosi and Reid’s way, as well.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.
Not really, the government has wasted billions on unproductive research. T. Boone Pickens recently pointed out that natural gas in much less expensive than wind power. Spain’s green job initiative destroyed 2.1 jobs for every one green job. Partial reason for their present financial difficulties
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit.
Others on this forum said it best.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.
This statement demonstrates their sheer pig ignorance. Of the three classes of WMD, US corporations have done almost nothing to create new WMD. Chemical agents are now banned. And, we are well on our program to destroy the existing ones – see Anniston Depot. Biological weapons were banned and were never deployed. Only small amounts of chemical or biological agents are kept for laboratory purposes to determine how to defeat and protect against them. Nuclear weapon development is pretty much on hold, or planning only. No new programs there. I used to plan the movement for such weapons. So, I know of what I write.
