“Obama wants to do George Bush one better by continuing the worst of his policies,
enact more of his own, and destroy the middle class to turn America
into Guatamala with ruling elites governing a nation of serfs.”

“In Obama’s America, only the privileged have rights,
not people of color, the poor, and growing numbers going hungry,

I learned about a new low in corporate greed from Michael Moore’s latest documentary “Capitalism: A Love Story,” which, by the way, I highly recommend. It is called “dead peasants” insurance. Companies take out secret insurance policies on their employees and name themselves as beneficiaries. And we are not talking about key employees since losing their expertise, knowledge and contacts of top managers can be financially devastating for companies. But companies also write policies for rank-and-file employees. When the employee dies, the company, not his or her family, gets the insurance money. In Moore’s movie, Wal-Mart took out a secret policy on a cake decorator, and when she died, Wal-Mart received $80,000, but her family received nothing.
