Sick For Profit

These are the folks who Republicans and even Democrats like Max Baucus want to keep in charge of the Healthcare Industry.



Watch other videos about this issue from Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films website.

I also suggest that you take another look at the movie "Sicko". (btw, most Canadians love their Healthcare..... one of the things that has perplexed me about this non-debate is how the Canadian system has been so vilified by the Right).

John McCain Is Out of Touch With Average Voters

Who's The Elitist?

"Most working families today do not have homes that have anywhere near ten rooms. John McCain has ten houses. Many working people in America have to work two and three jobs to provide for their families and pay their car loans. John McCain hops on a private jet. Is it any wonder why McCain champions a George Bush agenda of cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, helping oil companies turn record profits, and leaving working families to fend for themselves? McCain's velvet world leaves him utterly unprepared to make the tough choices we need to restore the middle class and ensure that everyone in America has quality, affordable health insurance."
- Andy Stern, President, Service Employees International Union (SEIU)

John McCain is soaring to new heights of hypocrisy on his wife's personal jet. He flies around the country bent on duping the public into believing he's "one of them," a regular guy who can empathize with Americans facing an overwhelming economic crush. What's more, he disparages those who oppose his ridiculous policy proposals as "elitist." But who's the real elitist?

The REAL McCain is a multimillionaire who owns ten luxurious homes. The REAL McCain backs President Bush's tax cuts for big corporations. The REAL McCain empathizes only with the interests of our nation's wealthy minority, not its money-strapped majority. But far too many are buying into McCain's deceit because the corporate press won't present the whole picture, so we created this video to educate the public about the REAL McCain.

Together, you have been a force in making sure The REAL McCain videos have been seen by nearly 6.5 million people. But as Frank Rich noted in his NY Times column yesterday, 40% of Americans hear too little about McCain from the mainstream media, meaning "the public doesn't know who on earth John McCain is." That's why it's crucial you ensure the above video is seen by as many as possible, and that we use each and every tool at our disposal to get the word out. Raise hell about McCain's economic duplicity!

AFL-CIO President John Sweeney summed it up best when he said McCain "simply doesn't understand the challenges America's working families are facing because he isn't remotely affected by them." It's up to us to tell people who McCain really is, a jet-setting elitist more concerned with corporate lobbyists than hard-working Americans.

Walmart Documentary - The High Cost of Low Prices

Watch this must see documentary by Robert Greenwald. The documentary has been out for about a year, but even if you have seen the film before, it is worth a second look.

This organization represents everything that is wrong with corporate America. This is a perfect example of why I generally hate the private sector. I can relate to many of the situations discussed in the film, and I have seen many of the tactics with my own eyes.

Pay attention to how they treated their minority workers....

Good old Hillary Clinton was once a member of Walmarts Board of Directors for several years... Why hasn't the mainstream corporate media reported more aggressively about this fact, especially as we are entering the Primary season? And Democrats are falling over themselves to vote for this woman? Unreal. [1] [2]
