Thread Name: BS: How to save US corporations
Subject: RE: BS: How to save US corporations
What made the Enron type pillages possible is found in the law that was passed by the Clinton Congress (by over riding BClinton's veto) that made it legal for CEO's to deliberately lie about the financial standing of thier corporation.
The bill was commonly reffered to as the "end to frivilous lawsuits".
To properly steal, a law is often passed first to make it legal.
We swallow so many lies we collectively forget about most of them. Taking people's pensions away once they are about to retire is now common. Adding provivisions to laws at 3AM without Congressional knowledge or debate is not only done but if discovered - the law is not redacted or the Congressional member punished. Congressman Dick Army did such a thing to limit liability of drug companies and not only got away with it, he was not even scolded. Now drug companies who make vaccines that might be "pure poison" can not be sued for more than 250K.
I think I even forgot about the lie that by purchasing cable television we would do away with commercials.
Good night its time for my Soma.
sniff, please send your check to the middleman RNC or directly to the corporation of your choice.
