Oh god the things I could do with the R&D budget of just one oil company. But I decided to go it on my own dime for now. Its harder but its worth it not having some corporate suit deciding what your going to do.

Ask not what someone want someone else to do for you, ask what you could do for someone else.

the oil companies should be paying their way on new energy exploration, alternative energy also. i could experiment a lot for a few hundred billion dollars. like happy trees has already posted these are some good post- ideas being thrown out here. nice civil chat. but in reality nothing in america is going to change unless we as americans come together in a totally united group, get over our political differences and call these crooks that have sold this country down the river out. and make them believe we are tired of all their crap, and we want things to change. and change for the good of all of us, not just a certain few. but how will we ever accomplish this?

if the government would get rid of all of the red tape and bureaucracy that was set in place to further the padding of the pockets of large companies, they could give people jobs to fix our roads, fix abandoned homes and use them for the new upper lower class. They could create federally owned manufacturing plants in these abandoned factories and create a new American made brand that included furniture, clothing, and basic household necessities while employing millions. They could create a federal factory that made only school supplies.
Something needs to be done to start these "ghost factories" back up again.
Tax the f--k out of any imports, and lower the cost for other countries to export our American made goods....
There are too many hands in any one decision made by our state and federal governments, and the price we pay these billion dollar contractors as a country is outrageous.

Large power corporations should focus on rebuilding and aging power grid and not lining the pockets of the mega millionaires that run the companies.. I know all companies are here to make a dollar, but they should be investing in there own. if they would maybe the government would not have to bail corporations out..this statement is not limited to the power companies either.

Reminder... no political names.... don't want this to turn into DC here..keep up the good post I like reading these... I would rather read all of these post and ones like it all day that to hear on party or the other calling names...refer to any specific names to politicians.... NONE of them are out friends.

The scary part of the whole dependency on the government factor is this, we have kids having kids and the kids that are having the kids, are so dependent on the government for help that it breeds the kids they are having to be dependent on the government. So therefore when 15 and younger are having kids, the parents will be in the early 30's and they will want to remain on some sort of government help along with their now adult kids. Its a revolving door that never stops.

and we are too stupid to see any of that.


Exactly....The dependent class..the 47%..are being paid off for a few hundred dollars a month...and they think they have it made cause they are getting free stuff..lol

Give a poor person a welfare check...cable tV, and a free cell phone..and they are happy.

These people do not try to be anything more then what they are...poor...The ruling class understands this and uses it against the 47%.

You are slaves and don't even know it.
