I am sick and tired of the phony corporate “leftism” that is pumped out in this country

Apple is not “liberal” – Steve jobs and his company made billions of dollars ruthlessly exploiting child labor and destroying the environment

Facebook is not “left” – Zuckerberg, by all accounts, stole the idea from others. They do not respect their users privacy and take all your information as their own. They sell ads to anyone regardless of truth or purpose

Amazon is not “liberal” – Bezos is the modern day Rockefeller. Amazon’s tactics and strategies are right out of the monopolists playbook. He pits cities and states against one another in order to get tax credits and his slave labor shops built for free, despite being one of the wealthiest people in the planet.

Google is not “liberal” – googles information monopoly is without competition. They actively lobby the government to make sure they are safe from antitrust laws and labor laws.

These companies and their owners are all brutal capitalists. They put up a facade of liberalism by speaking flowery statements about gay rights or banning the use of the word fag. Behind the curtain is the same old right wing, anti worker, anti human ideology that is always present in the capitalist system. Brutally exploit everyone and everything to maximize profits.

Three corporate Democrats in the CT state senate broke ranks Friday and voted for a GOP budget. The budget destroys workers rights, decimates higher ed, and cuts taxes on the wealthy while raising them on he working class.


The Anti-Worker Budget ends the Citizens Election Program (CEP), which publicly funds our political campaigns. Without the CEP, politicians will need to pander to wealthy interests in order to fund their campaigns instead of representing the people of out state. #SaveCEP

The corporate war against unions


“If the activities of the union-busting industry received just 1% of the media coverage devoted to Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election, we might have a far different country — where at least a modicum of democracy is present at work, where most of us spend half of our waking lives.”

The corporate war against unions

Jonathan Tasini writes at Labor Day that the decline in unions is wrongly attributed to flagging support; it is instead more about the continuing, long-standing practice of union busting.

How Corporate Welfare Is Killing Small Businesses


“Even though small businesses are considered by many to be the backbone of our economy, accounting for 54% of all sales in the United States as well as the lion’s share of job growth since the early 1990s, funding from the Small Business Administration is a fraction of that of corporate welfare. The SBA’s budget was $1.4 billion in 2016, but the SBA only provides grants for nonprofits and educational institutions in certain growth sectors.

It does not provide direct loans to small businesses; instead, it provides guidelines for small business loans from lending institutions. You know, those big banks getting all the bailouts.”

Week 21: The Corporate Takeover of Our National Parks


“Perhaps the success of the national parks under government management stands as a threat to their worldview. If the government can run our parks so well, maybe it can manage other things, too. For this reason, the extreme right has sought to discredit the service at every turn.”

Week 21: The Corporate Takeover of Our National Parks

Welcome to Best Buy’s Yosemite Hiking Center? Glacier National Park, brought to you by Aquafina, and Shenandoah-Verizon, can you hear it now?

The United States has “Corporate Personhood” that has led to Corporations being allowed to spend money electing politcians because of a mis-reeading and sloppily written 14th Amendment.

The United States has no Federal Constitutional Right to Vote in the US Constitutiton.

The United States has not Federal Automatic Voter Registration.
