MSNBC’s Ed Schultz is “Fired Up” about the way Wall Street operates with complete disregard for the American people, as well as what has been described as a “Cold War” between Wall Street and the White House.

Ed is another good awesome voice for the people! There is no reason for conservatives to call outspoken progressives like Ed Schultz, Alan Grayson, Anthony Weiner, et al “blowhards” when they are really telling it like it is. Anthony Weiner in particular last week was so justified in urging not to yield the floor to his Republican colleague.
I like when Ed mentioned “corporate extortion”, because it reiterates my point of how we are practically enslaved to corporations having to buy their products and services so that they can profit as business as usual. Seems like for quite a long time, corporations are the root of the economy’s problem (not to mention the 2 unnecessary wars the US is in). If it weren’t for deregulated corporations, the playing field would be leveled more fairly. Corporations make things more difficult than they should be, especially with the health insurance industry. Too bad we seemed to miss the opportunity of a public option being implemented last year…As for jobs, I really should be thankful for the 2 PT jobs I have with my county’s gov’t, even though they are exempt positions not providing me with benefits, and ironically more secure than those who work for my county’s gov’t that do have benefits since they say they are hardly secure. This doesn’t surprise me that I haven’t worked for the private sector in almost 3 years, where working for gov’t jobs gives me more of an income, but not really that much since I’ve been only making not much more than $10,000 a year.
Between Obama and corporations, corporations and Wall Street are either not that into him or they are using him to their own devices as the expense of the American worker.
With further adieu, here is the Layoff list website that I initially posted under the ROFR thread of Ed Schultz talking about how soon Americans could be in bread lines again:
http://www.layofflist.org
All in all, I ought to be very grateful for what I have at the moment with my 2 PT jobs while I live at home with my folks. So God-forbid me and my folks would become homeless because our mortgage broker Wells Fargo can’t really seem to get their act together in making things more straight-fwd for when my folks send in their paperwork over and over again in order to get a refinancing of our house. I’m sure they are doing all the right things as best as they can, but it seems very difficult for Wells Fargo to receive the paperwork due to all the corporate bureaucracies involved that probably think they are too big to fail…Also, God-forbid I would be impoverished after either or both of my folks pass away since it is difficult for me to find permanent, secure work that includes benefits since fewer of them seem to be existing nowadays. But, at least the area I am living in has the most available jobs than anywhere else in the country (but probably mostly for the public/gov’t sector).
this was an excellent “ED” commentary…IMO
Ed…this was excellent!!!! You point out how UN-AMERICAN these Wall Street assholes and big business CEO’s who could care less if the middle class disappears are! All they care about is their bottom line and their personal wealth. They want the equivalent of slave labor in this country to maximize THEIR profits. Then they send their personal wealth to off shore tax shelters. These assholes could care less if this country tanks. They will just move on to the next third world country, which plenty of them have sent most of the jobs already.
NR,
Thanks for the Layoff list.
These Wall St. people are truly insane.
How much $$$ is enough?
No amount can ever be enough to feed them.
They feed off the rotting corpse of the American Way of Life.
They’re sick. They’re bloodless. They’re vampires.
If/when Obama ever gets around to pullling that sword out of the stone (remember Mike’s Arthurian comparison re: Obama?) I hope the sword turns into a silver stake and Obama finds the will to drive it into the bloodless, un-dead heart of these parasites.
We have never ever got over our addiction and attitude to a slave like plantation and Post Civil War Robber Baron dominate workforce.
