Stop letting them buy elections? Campaign finance reform is an excellent first step.
George Soros will not like that.
Oh, I think he'd get over it.
Everyone makes this ludicrous argument is forgetting one simple thing:
Military members earn their pay and benefits.
...or are you saying you want the military privatized?
Couldn't that be said about ALL Public Employees? You seem to be OK with their livelihoods being privatized.
I see a big building. I don't see any private military uniforms.No, us citizens don't, but corporations do...
Really? I haven't seen any press releases.
Don't need any. Just look at Dubai...
taken in a broad overview, the military is about as far away from capatilist doctrine as one can get, in fact, it may well be viewed as a socialist doctrineI'm retired military, and I'm currently looking for work.
that in itself explains enough about your stance to dismiss it as simply not having had to walk the capitalist walk....

Exactly. Teachers earn their pay...in fact, they should be paid a hell of a lot more than we do. The guy that cleans the street, processes your taxes or gets you your driver's license all earn their pay and benefits too, but THEY are the ones the RW is going after like rabid dogs. Why aren't the "conservatives" looking to cut the pay and benefits of the military? Aren't they "public servants" bloating at the public trough?

The Idea of Class warfare proffered by the left is as old as time itself it didn't work then it sure as hell doesn't work today. The problem today is the left and its desire to take for itself the work of others simply because the left feels it is owed. How it came to this conclusion it the topic of many interesting discussions.
You're wrong. The idea of class warfare is the reality. The Corporate World is rapidly abandoning the country that allowed them to become as rich and powerful as they are. In other countries, they'd have been taxed into much smaller entities where new businesses could gain a foothold and also become part of the economy.... OR, they would be owned outright by the government.
The pandering that the Corporate world has gotten over the past 30 years(since Reagan), have allowed these huge entities to dictate policy, legislation and the economy. As a result, we have a forest... of real tall trees that block the sunlight to the undergrowth. When some new business starts up that actually competes with one of the big boys.... the big boys have their hands into so many cookie jars that they can either undercut the little guy out of existence(even at a temporary loss), or if they don't kill them off, they can make their position so uncomfortable that they will sell out to the big boys and make them even stronger.
Who suffers? Certainly not the Conglomerate. It's the little guy. Furthermore, we have allowed the outsourcing of our jobs meant for people who don't have the intellect to go to college. What that does is doom these people to jobs that were once meant for teenagers and young adults who don't have families.
I think Conservatives underestimate the power that the Corporate and Banking Communities wield. They are the ones dictating to us... not so much government.
Seriously... take a look at it from fresh eyes. Only since the 2008 election has there been this much uproar. Yes, you think it is justified. But take a fresh look at it. Those issues that Obama & co have tried to address(Health Care, Stimulus, etc) were all in an attempt to help out working people instead of these huge entities. It's what he ran on and got elected on.
Once again... the Conglomerate has won. They forced public opinion their way enough that the Health Care law is weak and actually helps the Insurance,Pharmaceutical and Med Tech Companies more than the people. That wasn't part of the original plan... but with the marketing campaign that the Corporate Sponsored right employed... the original plan went out the window. Same with the Stimulus... we have States returning the money to the Fed, even though their people are suffering.
Health Care is power. They don't want the Employer-based system to go away. That's control... an investment they are more than willing to pay. The Medical Community doesn't want the fee for service model that we have to go away. Even though that's how things got so screwed up, that's how their CEO's become extremely wealthy.
That wealth is coming from somewhere... and it's right off our backs. You don't think that Health Care is taken off of our wages now? What would our paychecks look like if they didn't have to supply us with our Health Care? I'd be willing to bet that whatever tax increase we'd see pales in comparison to the lost wages that our employers could be paying us.... even if they chose not to increase those wages, it would be more assets for them to hire more people.
You don't think he spends on just lobbying, do you?
Soros Spends Over $48 Million Funding Media Organizations | CNSnews.com
For George Soros and ProPublica's other liberal backers, it was again proof that a strategy of funding journalism was a powerful way to influence the American public.He's buying the news to distort what America sees.
It's a strategy that Soros has been deploying extensively in media both in the United States and abroad. Since 2003, Soros has spent more than $48 million funding media properties, including the infrastructure of news - journalism schools, investigative journalism and even industry organizations.
Yes yes "They Them Those" always the mantra of people who's lot in life is blamed upon others how simple how justified.
Envy greed and Jealously are nothing new ever since there have been two people someone always has more. Today we see a group of people who feel they can extract revenge against an entire body of people who's only crime is that they worked harder or had a bit of luck.
Never mind that these same people already face the the highest tax and in fact pay more then the combined amount of all the rest.
But this isn't about taxes is it? no no this is about something far more base then that no today a group of people seek nothing less then absolute punishment and destruction of those that have more. Never mind that the people who's lot in life is so terrible will not change at least they will have revenge against those who really are that much better then they.
The funny thing about this form of class warfare is that there is no stopping point I asked the question some time back "When will today's Poor Become the Rich"

Military pay is not bloated. Anyone who says it is is simply not connected to reality.

Lobbying is brute force. Soros' actions are more...elegant.Oh, I think he'd get over it.

I just provided a chart that shows Soros donating lobbying money.
George Soros Social Agenda for AmericaWhat are Soros's goals? What does he advocate for?
I'm good with that. But Soros doesn't need to lobby.I'm all for getting ALL lobbying money out of Washington and I don't really care who it is coming from which is why I said that Soros would get over it, were he not able to spend lobbying money on legislators. Unions, Soros, Corporations...limit them ALL.
Of course there is, and the Pentagon should be audited.Should the Pentagon be audited?The guy that cleans the street, processes your taxes or gets you your driver's license hasn't sworn to give his life for you, has he?Exactly.

Do you believe there's any fraud or corruption in the DoD?
Rumsfeld! BOOGA BOOGA!!What really happened to Rummy's missing trillion$?
Ummm...that's the UAE, not the United States. They can do what they want.I see a big building. I don't see any private military uniforms.Don't need any. Just look at Dubai...
The crown prince of Abu Dhabi has enlisted the infamous founder of Blackwater security services to build him an 800-member private army of foreign troops for the United Arab Emirates.
According to documents obtained by the New York Times Erik Princes new company, Reflex Responses, was hired and paid $529 million by the prince to form a new battalion of foreign fighters to carry out special operations, destroy internal revolts and defend urban areas and oil fields from terrorist attacks.
Troops are believed to have been brought to the UAE from Columbia, South Africa and other nations and are being trained by retired US military personnel and Germany and British special operations experts and member of the French Foreign Legion.
