What Congress decided to do with YOUR money

Yesterday, despite staggering opposition, the House voted to fund another 59 billion dollars for the war in Afghanistan.  Hello!  This is YOUR money people!  Stand up and demand change from these fools in Washington.  They obviously have no clue what is best for America.

Also, yesterday the Senate failed to pass Campaign financial reform that would require full disclosure from contributors to campaign advertisements, like big banks, Wall Street, and big oil companies who are only out for their best interests.  This was done on the basis that it would be prohibiting basic first amendment rights of the Corporations.  Come on!  Who are they kidding?!  So, this November, when you see the T.V. ads, you'll have to sit and wonder if a corporation is really behind the 'Citizens for a Better America' campaigns that support a Republican who's in bed with the Wall Street bank that is mishandling your money!

I don't know about you, but I sure as hell would rather OUR money be spent on things like creating more jobs in America and taxing and penalizing the holy hell out of those corporations who are sending OUR jobs overseas!  What is China going to do if we tell them we're going to raise their taxes on products imported into the U.S.?  If they threatened not to sell to us anymore, so what?!  They'd either give in after a few weeks of significantly decreased cash-flow, or we'd manufacture our own goods and be fine anyways!

A final tidbit of information for you to share as you wish:

In 1886, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Southern Pacific Railroad, in the Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, 118 U.S. 394, which entitles corporations to protection under the 14th Amendment.   This basically gave corporations the same rights as individuals, and has paved the way for so much of the B.S. we see today.
