What the hell is wrong with this country?

Finally, buried deep within the bill, and not mentioned in any MSM source that I am aware of, is the provision that every credit card transaction will now be reported to the IRS. How this fits in to the housing crisis is anyoneââ,¬â,,¢s guess.

This in addition to:

-Karl Rove not being arrested for ignoring a subpoena.
-Tax dollars going to bailing out corporations who are in financial trouble, yet their profits are privatized.
-FISA being passed and providing telecom immunity for illegal wiretaps
-This: http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/cnn_reporter_who_revealed_scope_of_%27no-fly%27_list_now_gets_hassled_every_time_he_flies/#92608
-CBS editing McCain's interview to his benefit
-Fox News, just being Fox News with repeated racist, homophobic, and misogynist comments.
-RealID

So, we're pretty much in a state where Corporations have more rights than us, the media  can do whatever(so long as it agrees with the government), those in power are repeatedly committing felonies, and our rights are being stolen from us. 

I'm seeing more of this shit every day.  When will it end?

It's called "capitalism."

It's called "capitalism."

Damn, that's exactly what I was going to post before I scrolled down.

[Daddy]

[Bushy]

It won't end

Small price to pay to live a happy life is what I say.

I mean if you want to try and take down the corrupt officials then go right ahead, it would be an improvement definitely.

But still, we could be getting blown up by car bombs right now.

JMV is now on the terror watch.

-Karl Rove not being arrested for ignoring a subpoena.

I read in Newsweek that he didn't have to go because his actions are covered by the executive branch or something like that. He'd just be wasting his time... while he could be making tons of cash at a speech.  I have to find that magazine to make sure though.

So, we're pretty much in a state where Corporations have more rights than us,

More people involved, more "rights".

Yeah, there's a lot of corruption, but America is still alot better than every country... bar New Zealand.  caterpie;


Oh and guys, capitalism is not a fucking form of government. Just because in every other country (bar New Zealand!!!) the government controls all the money, doesn't meaning moneymaking is not a seperate driving force.

I thought that was "prices stay up because people keep paying for it" or something like that.
