Imagine corporations, like General Electric, have not paid federal income taxes on U.S. profits for years. Mega corporations have abandoned U.S. workers by entrenching “pull-down” trade agreements that mak…http://www.twitpic.com/csbfye

It's an unsettling blend of confusion and sorrow that should really only be reserved for the sudden death of a relative or times you watch Gaspar Noé films after a night of weird, powdered psychedelics. The worst thing about it is that, unless you're the Koch brothers and the stuff that's been pinched is the contents of your safe, it's unlikely that you're ever going to see your stolen belongings again. The police just don't have enough time to follow up every phone that goes missing at 4 AM. Howe…http://www.twitpic.com/csbwut

It is one more right-wing victimization fable, repeated endlessly until the public has no choice except to believe it.” RELATED VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aqK_WxvB_xEhttp://www.twitpic.com/csb0b7
