Instead of ... Why not ...

© - Tom Hyland - 3/22/11


Instead of - Congress having their ‘Special’
Retirement Plan -
Why not - put Them with US
In Social Security - Yeah, Man!


Instead of - Congress doing the Bidding
Of Corporations -
Why not - Occasionally Listen -
And Do the Peoples Declarations?


Instead of - the Pentagon having Carte Blanche
Unlimited, Un-tethered, Un-Accounted Budget Billions -
Why not - Do an Audit of their Books -
And Incarcerate the Guilty Crooks?


Instead of - Allowing the Heads of Corporations
To Run Rampant and Rough-Shod, like Hogs -
Above and Beyond the Interests of the Public -
Why not - ‘Curb’ them - just like Dogs?


Instead of - Blowing Hundreds of Billions
On Two Senseless and Stupid Wars -
Why not - Bring The Troops Home -
And Castrate the Warmongering Corporate Whores?


Instead of Allowing American Companies
To Just ‘Farm Out’ Jobs Overseas -
Why not - Tax the Hell out of Them -
$100,000 for Each Job Lost - If You Please!


Instead of - Allowing the Oil Companies
GOUGE us at the Pumps -
Why not - NATIONALIZE Them -
And Just Wipe Out our Deficit Dumps?


Instead of - Exxon/Mobil - Conoco/Phillips - Chevron -
The Three Largest American-Owned Companies Today -
Why not - Merge Them - and Call It -
TAN - Truly American National - HOORAY!


Would Not That Be Truly PATRIOTIC?


Instead of - the American People
Being - Dumb, Stupid Sheeple -
Why not - Wake Up -
And Smell the Awful Offal?



POSTSCRIPT:

As we are all well aware, all of the above is -
Nothing more than a “Pipe Dream” -
As in ‘Hookah’ or ‘Hubble-Bubble’

But, for your own Edification and Education -
Just GOOGLE the words:
American Oil Companies

The Histories of them, going back to the Late 1800’s
Is quite Interesting!

And you Wondered Why ‘They’ are so Powerful?

POWER IS POWER!
MONEY IS POWER!
OIL IS POWER!

But, guess what, Pilgrims ...
The Largest Oil Company on the Face of the Earth Today Is -
CHINESE!


FROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoco

Amoco Corporation, originally Standard Oil Company (Indiana), was a global chemical and oil company, founded in 1889 around a refinery located in Whiting, Indiana.
It later absorbed the American Oil Company founded in Baltimore in 1910 and incorporated in 1922 by Louis Blaustein and his son Jacob. British Petroleum acquired Amoco in 1998.

N.B. - A Descendent - BLAUSTEIN -
Just happens to be one of the Richest and Most Prominent
Citizens of New York City and State Today!
WHO’D A THUNK?

JP Morgan and his crowd balked as he asked Tesla "Where do I put the meter?" on his Wardenclyffe tower to supply free wireless energy to the world. When Tesla balked at this question JP and the big oil/energy interests shut him down forever since he owned 51 percent of Tesla's inventions. "Mr. Morgan are you going to leave me in the lurch?" Tesla asked. Morgan did. The end. Fast-forward 100+ years and Tesla is again validated in his ideas of self sufficiency for America.

What you dewscribe is a wonderful dream, Tom. Unfortunately, until corporations are prevented from lining politicians' pockets it will never happen.

Death to lobbyists!!!

"Imagine" a perfect world...no,no,no, that's the drugs talking. Just imagine now riding your bicycle to work every day, and imagine taking public transportation to work instead of your car. Now imagine by doing those two things you save at the gas pump. Wonderful rant...love'm

A very big one, I'd have to say. We truly are a nation of Blind Sheeple, and I don't believe it will change any time soon.
