Corporations In America

Here's what is wrong in a nutshell...corporations in America were granted the same rights as individual citizens, yet when they do wrong they are punished as a corporation, so in effect there is really no physical human who is responsible, therefore the corporation is given a fine (not one that might break the bank and teach them an actual lesson), a slap on the wrist (judge telling lawyers not to let the corporation do that again), then sent on their merry money making way. If you or I were to do the same things we would spend years in jail. Unfortunately corporations were given those rights along with lots of money so that eventually they steered our political process to their advantage and to hell with the public. In their eyes we are the 'chattering masses'. Even Governor Arnold of California has shown just what the 'powers that be' think of you and I. He stated that 95 per cent of the worlds population are not smart enough to make their own decisions. This is what our leaders think of us. Be careful what you say, there Arnold...someone might just be listening...like me!

Corporate Accountability



HON. MAJOR R. OWENS

OF NEW YORK

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, February 5, 2003



Mr. Speaker: It appears that the Congressional investigating and hearing process is over for the racketeering corporations of the nation. With all three branches of the government now controlled by Republicans, the world's most costly coverup can be finalized. ENRON, WORLDCOM, and all of the rest have proved that crime can pay huge profits. As a member of the 108th Congress I beg that we at least be allowed to discuss these serious thefts on the floor of the House. But, alas, the Republican majority through a tyranny of rules changes has cut off the opportunity for free speech on the floor. We are forced to keep the dialogue alive through 'guerilla' communications among ourselves. The following two poems comment on corporate morality.

Corporate Credo 1



Greed is great,

Less harmful than hate,

Not the business of the state,

Each sucker deserves fat bait.

For economy's sake

Protect our freedom to take

From any investor on the make.

Pension funds we can feed

To the belly of great greed,

Old guys never really need

Too much green evil weed;

It's a handout risk free;

Social Security we guarantee -

401K's must take a chance,

The market is the ultimate romance.

Greed is great,

Not the business of the state,

Each sucker deserves fat bait.

Corporate Credo 2



The corporate board meeting fee -

A check to cash with greedy glee,

Payment for presence at a silent tea,

Reward for stuff you didn't see;

All the bored can cop a plea.

Shareholder swindling is a shame

Good members just sign their name,

Accountant culprits bear all the blame,

The SEC behaves too tame.

The corporate board meeting fee -

A check to cash with greedy glee.
