Grain Speculators are Captains of Capitalisim

These brave capitalists are seizing the Midwestern drought as an opportunity to make large profits by speculating with depositor's capital to drive up the price of corn and soybeans, thus affecting the entire food chain. A rise in consumer prices is, therefore, assured with subsequent profits for investors.

Your pension money buys the corporate vote. Thanks

The Supreme Court Citizens decision allows us to use your money to buy promotions to swing the election.

The truth is what corporations say it is.

Corporations fund the research, hire the experts, and control the media. Who is to prove us wrong?

Are corporations and people equal under God as in the constitution?

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission  2010

Does God care who wins the election?

Just wondering if it makes any difference.

Do you think the President runs the country?

Come on!  How about Congress? The wealthy? Large corporations? Anyone?

Who or what is running this country? Be honest.

Why do you feel this way?

Corporation First for President.

Millions of dollars in political ads have made it clear that two terrible persons are running for president in 2012. The solution is clear ... elect Corporations First.

Only 30 lobbyists for every congressperson.

It takes a lot of pressure to influence all those representatives. Corporations should double the number.

Wake up ... The wealthy own the election ...

196 superwealthy people through their corporations - have given more than 80 percent of the Super PAC money spent in the presidential election.

Banks were too big to fail ... and now even larger.

Remember the days of the bail outs? It is going to get even better this time around.

Conservatives / Liberals fight while I rob the bank.

I love election time when voters fight, money flows, and no one pays any attention to the economy.

Corporate morality is simple. Profits are good, loses are evil.

I do whatever it takes to maximize my after tax profits including outsourcing jobs, automation, corporate esponage, tax avoidance, union busting, contamination, political manipulation, quality compromise, and advertising misrepresentation. 

Corporate profits are holy, loses are evil

Make as much profit after taxes as possible today without breaking the letter of the law ... that is how my corporate value is measured. Very simple. I take advantage of every opportunity to accomplish this and don't worry about who gets hurt in the process.

One billion political $ to be spent on fanning hate. Yeaaaa

That is the mass media forcast for the next four months. This is more fun than football.

Elections are the same as the Roman games and used to hide the true corruption.

Conservatives vs liberals. Let them fight it out while we raid the treasury.

The Devil created political parties to fan hatred between humans.

To witness pure hatred, scan the tweets on both republican and democrat sights.

THE DEVIL CREATED POLITICAL PARTIES

Political parties fan the anger and hate even between families and friends. This is a great diversion from the true evil.

God must love corporations more than humans

How could human supreme court justices justify giving corporations the same rights under the constitution as human beings? Divine inspiration?

Corporations created by God! Supreme Court rules they have the same rights as humans.

In Citizens United 2010 the US Supreme Court ruled that Corporations have the same rights under the constitution as humans do. How can this be?

Why listen to politicians? They never deliver on their promises to the voters.

 #republican  #democrat  #teaparty

I earned it, I saved it, and I am going to keep it

VOTE REPUBLICAN

Remember Romney and keep out of the public spotlight

None of us want to open up our finances to public scrutiny, so be invisible. 

Avoiding Taxes is the Name of the Game

If you don't know the ins and outs of avoiding taxes, then you don't belong in business. That is the way the game is played.

Maximize profits and dividends by minimizing taxes and that means looking for every loophole in the tax law. If you can't find one, pay your legislator to create one. No problem.

Support Romney in Withholding Tax Info.

The current demand for full public disclosure of Romney tax returns holds a potential threat for every senior executive. It is important that certain compensation information as well as investment practices be kept confidential as long as they adhere to the letter of the law.  Failure to do so could open a Pandora box of misunderstandings and false charges.

Tea Party: Friend or Foe?

Our Corporations First representatives to the tea party movement have become increasingly concerned with changes in that organization that are contrary to the best interests of large corporations and their senior executives.

The validity of our concerns is evidenced by the recent overwhelming California vote (senate 24 to 7) to take a stand against Citizens United which gives us unlimited power to spend on Federal and State elections. Although it is not mentioned in the press, our review of internal documents suggests that BOTH the California Tea Party and Occupy movements through their spin offs were instrumental in our defeat.

What is happening here?  Comments please.

Tobacco Defeats Cancer

Our June 2012 executive of the month award goes to Daniel Delen, CEO of Reynolds American, for his striking victory over the American Cancer Society in the California Elections. His courageous $47 million ad blitz at the last minute to confuse the issue averted a potential revenue loss to the tobacco industry of $475 million a year which would have otherwise been spent in preventing tobacco use and curing cancer.

A loss in California could well have encouraged other states to also increase cigarette taxes and thereby discourage millions of young people from taking up this recreation. Congratulations Daniel, you put your corporation first and thereby protected the interests of your stockholders and senior executives.
