Bank of america employee told to lie

Corporate America (whoever that is) is manipulating the market? The stock market? The bond market? The market for goods and services? And as a result of their making more money, which typically means they need more employees, unemployment is high?
Where do they teach this stuff??

Can you spell L-O-B-B-Y-I-S-T? And who pays the lobbyists? The inner urban dwellers of Philadelphia? The Navajos out on the reservation west of Gallup, New Mexico? The fruit pickers in California?

I have a friend who has an office overlooking the west tarmac and private jet parking spot at Dulles Airport in D.C. He said he can sit there and just watch the corporate jets land, passengers disembark, then come back about three hours later and take off again. He said there were no less than 50 "business jets" parked there at one time. And all the jets belong to large corporations. So yes, honey. Corporate America runs Congress. Congress is their "bitch". And these same corporate moguls also have the stock market rigged for their benefit, too.

Government (supposedly) works for us, yet they choose to accept being corps bitch.

And you see the corps as the bigger problem? Ok, you go with that.

I don't think you realize or understand. Both members of Congress AND corporations benefit from their silent, non-written agreement. I'm sure you've heard of the old saying, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours."

No, you are the one who missed the point. Government is elected by us to work for us, yet they choose to do otherwise. Corporations can bribe away (not excusing this or saying it is ok, btw); but government - who is elected by the people, for the people - make a choice to sell out. Oh, because it benefits them? Yeah, exactly my point.

Stop bolding all your answers. Bolding is meant to highlight a point; bolding entire answers doesn't make your point any more pointy it just makes it annoying.
 
I think the point that's being made is that you cannot manipulate a free market. Complete deregulation means that the corporations become answerable only to their customers. You do something underhanded, we find out about it, we don't buy your products. You do it enough, and we decide to boycott you OUT of the market... with no government to bail your punk ass out, you go under. All this happens at the will of your pissed off customers...

Makes ya think, How many bloated ridiculous and overpaid execs would be looking for work if it were left up to us? Not only that, What level of EXCELLENCE would be created by American companies just to compete?

With an open market Lobbyists, special interest groups, government/corporate fraud, and large banks all go away. Its a natural process and would be beautiful to watch.

So htere are no lobbyists for unions? No lobbyists for private orgs like NRA or Sierra Club? No lobbyists for NOW?
In any case, can you lay out exactly how the presence of lobbyists means Corporate America (whoever that is) is manipulating the market (whatever that means) to cause unemployment to be high?

Oh, yes, the NRA is one of the biggest lobbying groups inside the Beltway besides health insurance companies. The NRA is the "bitch" of the gun and weapons manufacturers, a mega mega corporate industry. There are seven health insurance lobbyists for every single Congressman. I don't know what the ratio is for big bank lobbyists. I would imagine it is comparable, though.

The unions don't have nearly the power they had in the 60s and 70s. Congress has taken front and center stage. Wisconsin is a good example of how a governor can squash the unions for future collective bargaining. Wisconsin is Ground Zero for the unions and they were beat badly by Walker. Walker was I suspect, heavily funded by corporations to carry his fight to fruition and avoid his recall election.

Here's a new example of the power of mega corporations: The American Medical Association has just ruled that obesity is now a "disease" and shall be treated as such by doctors and hospitals. Who stands to benefit? Duh. Johnson and Johnson just got a new fat pill approved by the FDA. Connect the dots.

Unemployment is high because corporations have the upper hand and can run their businesses on a tighter, leaner structure by threat of layoffs. People who do have jobs are terrified of losing them. So you tell me who is pulling whose strings?

Just remember the famous line from Woodard and Bernstein when they got that call from DeepThroat: "Follow the money." That's all ya' gotta do.

Wow, what a bunch of malarkey.
 
Quit bailing out banks for making bad loans in the first place, and this nonsense will stop.

Quit deregulating banks, allowing bad mergers, and enforce existing laws. All Republican flaws btw.

Phil Gramm (R) The head scumbag.

And signed by Bill Clinton? :rolleyes:

Clinton signed a budget bill, Gramm's rider was to stall the budget. Where have we heard that before?

Only for the low-information morons who think "corporate America" runs everything.
 
The market is the best regulator of behavior. It's everywhere. And its penalties are brutal, just as its rewards are phenomenal.
But the Left doesn't get it Because the market cannot be bribed. It cannot be bent to special interests. It cannot accomodate rent seekers or politicians seeking re-election. So they have no control over it. And they hate it for that reason.

What world do you live? The market can't be manipulated?

Unemployment is high because corporate America is manipulating the HELL out of the market.

No, making more money is for profit (which unfortunately is number one), selling more stuff or services promotes employment.
