Obviously none of them said those things. Not a one of them spoke English as their first language or the language of their government, and every quote was in English.

This doesn't scare me because it's not true. What's true and scary is the government surveillance of Americans, secret meetings of top US officials with big oil, subverting our Department of Justice to get Republicans elected and depress minority voting, etc. Those scare me and Bush has done them all, claiming it's his right as President. :roll:

But lets look at each statement with a critical eye, instead of a hostile perspective and try to find a truth about it, if there is on.

spoken to billionaires whose golden parachute after they just moved 100,000 jobs to china is more than a small nations annual budget? Sounds like a good idea to me.

Maybe it's time for a concern for the middle class that take a priority over concern for the extreme wealthy.

We are going to have to stop exporting jobs and start reducing our trade deficits.

Isn't that the basis of taxation to support schools, roads, highways, and airports?

If it hadn't, we would have universal health care.

Big Pharma had better start considering the patients they are supplying, not just their profit ratios.
