QuoteFinally, 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

-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.
