NAFTA WAS HORRIBLE BUT THIS SHAFTA IS WORSE

NAFTA WAS HORRIBLE BUT THIS SHAFTA IS WORSE

SECRET TRADE DEALS SO BAD IT HAS TO BE HIDDEN FROM AMERICANS!

TPP TRADE DEAL

USA = #1 in Wealth and Income Inequality in develped world and #4 in ENTRIE World

Why is USA #1? Because of SEVEN major factors:

Trade FRAUD against the American Working Class
Tax Policies that favor the RICH with MIDDLE CLASS paying the TAB
Welfare Policies that favor the Well-to-do and Corporations
Nearly Unregulated overcharging scams in Health Care, MIC, and Banking
Too-Big-to-Fail and to-Prosecute
Perpetual unnecessary Wars and Spying Policies
Demonization of most Americans not in the RICH CLASS as LAZY or WORTHLESS

“The Trans-Pacific Partnership would be an unmitigated disaster for everything from the environment to Internet freedom and working families… Members of Congress must be able to work to ensure that any proposed trade agreement is a fair deal for all Americans, not just the rich and powerful…Let’s be clear: A vote for fast track authority on the TPP is a vote for a deal that will hurt hardworking Americans and haunt every single member of Congress, Republican or Democrat, who votes for it.”

– Charles Chamberlain, Executive director of Democracy For America, Progressives

MULTI-NATIONAL DEMOCRATS = GOP = SAME SCAMMERS BOUGHT THEM!

MORE NAFTA-STYLE FOREIGN SLAVE LABOR AND MORE LOST AMERICAN JOBS + NOW A MOVE TO OWO + MOVE TO DESTROY INTERNET FREEDOM!

Fool me once, shame on you;  fool me twice, shame on me.

MORE MIDDLE CLASS MONEY FOR WELFARE TO BIG SCAMMERS USED TO SHIP FACTORIES AND JOBS TO SLAVE LABOR COUNTRIES PAYING $1.80 PER DAY FOR LABOR!

Trans-Pacific Partnership trade SCAM = Supported by MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATE SCAM GROUPS = WALL STREET + CHAMBER OF CROOKS!

151 House Democrats OPPOSE THIS FRAUD!

Obama STANDS ALONE WITH BAUCUS (FRAUDSTER THAT ENDED SINGLE-PAYER).

MORE LIES TO SELL THE JOBS FRAUD:  “will open markets and create jobs” = Supporters CLAIM increased economic growth (FOR FRAUDS ON WALL STREET USING SLAVE LABOR)

FACT:  Recent trade deals undercut U.S. industries and weakened labor protections

“The president has failed to find someone who is willing to introduce the bill. He’s got over 200 members to cultivate from, some of whom would like to have his support in the next election. But Democratic members are extremely skeptical of this.  We’ve tried free trade, and not only has free trade not improved the U.S. economy, it’s gutted manufacturing and driven down our labor standards,”

– Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) citing NAFTA

Deal’s intellectual property chapter prompts outcries from Internet freedom groups saying it curbs free speech on the web.

Progressives = Trade deal undercuts efforts to curtail income inequality.

Investment analyst downgrades stocks over moral, ethical concerns

RANDY MOAS, investment analyst and founder and director of research for Miami Based Standpoint Research.downgraded Apple, Amazon.com and Philip Morris to “sell” status over the moral and ethical issues of their business practices. Somehow, when an analyst says it, and puts out an accompanying “sell” recommendation, some people just freak out.

Moas noted: Phillip Morris sells a product that kills people; Apple pays contract workers in China so little they have been committing suicide; Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos sits on a $27 billion fortune while his warehouse workers suffer low pay and unfair working conditions.

His research boasts top rankings from briefing.com, Yahoo Finance and Motley Fool – bested the Standard & Poor’s 500 more than 69% of the time since 2008. He sells his research mostly to hedge funds and institutional investors who profit from the advice.

MOAS has reached a point where he can no longer take the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor and all the exploitation that comes with it. He is sick of large corporations that grossly underpay their workers. To justify blatant and destructive selfishness by calling it capitalism is absurd. So he spoke up.

Moas said there are hundreds of other companies he could blacklist on moral and ethical grounds — including McDonald’s and Wal-Mart but he started with what he found among the more extreme cases.

“It’s the first time that I have seen it…I don’t recall it being put out there this clearly in this fashion previously, as far as I know.”

— Father Seamus Finn, Oblates of Mary Immaculate

In email, Moas said he had held in his feelings for “too long.” He blasted the conduct of each of the companies whose stock he recommended selling.

“I feel like 80% to 90% of the people are behind me.  But the damage that the other 10% to 20% can do to me can’t be underestimated, many of whom are in my industry.  

Philip Morris has the black lungs and blood of 500,000,000 people on their hands,”

–Moas charged – 1964 Surgeon general’s report linking smoking to lung cancer

On Apple: “For Apple Computers to pay their workers $2 an hour while they have $150 billion in the bank is nothing short of obscene. I heard all of the arguments in their defense and they make no sense to me.”

Apple = Under criticism for the low wages and poor living conditions by Apple’s contractors to Chinese workers assembling Apple devices.

Amazon: Founder Jeff Bezos “I recently read something about Amazon and how much pressure is on their employees … and at the same time Jeff Bezos with his obscene net worth of $27 billion was on his yacht in the Galapagos Islands. $27 billion and this man is not treating his workers fairly? It boggles the mind.”

Amazon put more pressure on employees working without air conditioning in the Amazon warehouses. Some of Amazon’s German workforce went on strike just before Christmas over wages and working conditions.

Father Finn said. “Pension funds may not be interested in the moral and ethical criteria….Maybe this is some of the Pope Francis effect as well. From his capitalism quotes out there, (the pope says) there’s an ethical way to do this, an ethical and moral way to help folks. I like to think there’s been some growing sensitivity in this area across these groups. Clearly what Pope Francis said on investments and inequality has been resonating in the larger community.”

On CNBC he point out a few flaws in our capitalist system and the host insinuated he was having a nervous breakdown.

Moas received anonymous death threats and lost business…called “financially dangerous”

He said he just wanted to take his one-time shot at a greedy world that both enriches and frustrates him as a businessman. “I may end up getting blacklisted driving my business into the toilet, but I knew that could happen. I feel like I am doing the right thing.”

Moas is not glued to computer screens, but travels the world and sees how others live. He looks at causes and effects, globally, and wishes others could see the world as he sees it.

There will always be a gap between rich and poor, but it is just so wide it destroys people. We ought to be doing more for employees who helped generate these riches, as well as the people who caught a bad break in life simply because of where they were born.

“I just want more focus on ethics, morals and the poor, and less on material things that are not nearly as important and valuable as people think.”

— Moas

3rd WAY = GOP WING OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY

3rd WAY =  Wall Street WAY = THIRD WAY = NO LABELS

3rd WAY =  GOP WING OF Democratic Party = WALL STREET + MIC FRAUD = NO LABELS 

GOP VERSION OF 3rd WAY = NO LABELS = SAME WALL STREET SCAMMING FOR THE GOP!

bankster Parasites

“Third Way is nothing but a front group for Wall Street interests. The growing movement of progressive populism isn’t about political vanity for DC consultants, it’s about solving the problems faced by working Americans.”

 — Cole Leystra, executive director of Progressives United.

3rd Way = Senior VP Matt Bennett conceded “the majority” of donors are from finance sector – concerned about “banking regulations.”

2001 = Democrats shocked into paralysis by 9ll was a great time for the Third Way GOP wing of the Democratic Party – suppressed progressive initiatives, especially on financial and MIC matters, in favor of solutions they described as centrist but in practice were (EXTREME) conservative.

NOW THEY ARE PULLING THIS!

3rd Way Group

3rd Way President and Founder, JON COWAN, (2nd from right) linked directly to Pete Peterson (R), and ROBERT RUBIN (DLC), WALL STREET SCAMMERS! 

 

3rd Way Muckety

3rd Way mindset = GOP on fiscal matters but token resistance on few social issues = an enabling appendage for Wall Street = Republican Lite and nobody wants that.

Democrats began winning when they DROPPED the parroting Third Way line with Howard Dean’s declaration that he was from “the Democratic wing” of the party = progressives and elections of President Obama on the center-left, never gave in all the way to Third Way style “centrist” mush.

      1. 3rd Way attacks anything that wants to regulate Wall Street 
      2. 3rd Way attacks anything the least bit populist or progressive
      3. 3rd Way = Morally wrong and a sure loser in elections

Third Way’s Jon Cowan and Jim Kessler = ATTACKED PROGRESSIVES IN OP-ED IN 2013

Candidates who sound like Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama win elections in modern America. The ones that don’t end up on Morning Joe panels – Harold Ford ,Wall Streeter.

Democratic nomination in 2016 = Better be and sounds like a REAL Democrat NOT GOP LITE!

Third Way’s Jon Cowan and Jim Kessler = ATTACKED PROGRESSIVES IN OP-ED IN 2013 saying “economic populism (progressivism) is a dead end.”

Pennsylvania Democrat Allyson Schwartz found the op-ed “outrageous” but is running for governor of Pennsylvania and needs the funding.

“The Third Way has been about promoting (EXTREME) centrist ideas of (FRAUD AND SCAMMING).

“The Third Way was out of line.  It was really ugly. They are dead wrong.  I wish no Democrats would work with them because it reveals who they are and what they are about, which is nothing in the Democratic vision.”

 — Rep. Keith Ellison, chair of the progressive caucus and against 3rd Way’s attacks on the social safety net

Nancy Jacobson = 2004 helped launch Third Way (EXTREME) CENTRISTS FOR WALL STREET SCAMS AND FRAUD.

Nancy Jacobson = fundraiser for Indiana Senator Evan Bayh since 1995

Nancy Jacobson = Finance Chair of Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) 

Nancy Jacobson = With Mark McKinnon co-founded No Labels, a 501(c)(4) WALL STREET ORIENTED COMBINING GOP AND MULTI-NATIONAL CORP DEMS

3rd WAY =  Serves financial interests and the personal interests of its senior executives.

3rd WAY = Wall Street = Always the enemy of Social Security and its greatest dream is to privatize it =  Great Betrayal

3rd WAY = Wall Street’s senior executives live in terror of being held accountable for “control frauds” = So defeating Warren is a top priority.

3rd WAY = Run by an “acolyte” of Pete Peterson (R) NlXONIAN Wall Street SCAMMER with 2 PRIORITIES:  Imposing austerity on Americans and privatizing Social Security = unholy grail = MASSIVE FEES that would drain the FUNDS.

Twenty of the twenty-nine trustees come from finance (counting the lawyer whose specialty is representing private equity firms). Their most common background is Mitt Romney’s — private equity — and hedge funds. The nine non-finance members include:

  • A Pete Peterson acolyte who previously created supposedly centrist front groups for gun rights and an effort to enlist “Gen X” in Wall Street’s assault on the safety net
  • A developer of giant malls
  • A semi-conductor manufacturer
  • A manufacturer of diaries
  • A criminologist/journalist
  • A PR specialist
  • A gay rights activist
  • A lobbyist at a firm best known for representing finance
  • A lawyer

Third Way is Wall Street. It is run by Wall Street for Wall Street. It is liberal only on social issues such as gay rights — and Wall Street created Third Way to focus on finance.

3rd WAY = Incoherence and ineptitude financial policies can throw the nation back into recession

3rd WAY = learned nothing from their errors and push the Great Betrayal and austerity.

3rd WAY = Overriding goal = Privatize Social Security = causing a gratuitous recession + misery + terrible electoral losses to Democrats

3rd WAY = Makes Wall Street the grand winner

LEFT = KNOWS the need to oppose austerity and the Great Betrayal = OPPOSE Third Way GOP LITE
