The old anti-trust laws need to be back on the front burner.

2. recommendo! I asked my congress critter back in November
When you hear the term "too big to fail" doesn't that tell you they should be broken up? He tap danced and I seriously don't think he understood what I was talking about.

3. Fix the Economy...Bring our JOBS home....How hard is that?
We need to re-think our local "downtown" shopping areas. Promote Locally grown produce. Stop giving Monsanto an d Archer Daniels billions of dollars in subsidies.

Support small farmers and small cattle ranchers.. not mega corporations.

8. at the rate multi-nationals are buying up other companies . . .
there will come a time when everything will be owned by a single entity -- THE Corporation . . .

we need to nip this in the bud right now . . . corporations are supposed to be tools to help us humans conduct our affairs -- not ruthless dictators that rule over us . . .
