He would have mentioned God, but He’s been bought out by Bain Capital….Do you know how hard it is for an Archangel to find a job these days?…..And the Cherubim…..some have committed suicide…
We all want to see a more equitable sharing of wealth. A fair share to the owners and investors. Then a fair wage to the laborers. Any union worker worth his pay puts his all in his job. Then a fair wage to the floor sweepers and toilet cleaners. Should these wages be equal? No. But they should be fair a living wage. Should housing prices be controlled so that everyone has adequate shelter? I think so. I think everyone should have the basics of living, plus whatever extra they bring to the table. But, IT SHOULD BE FAIR.
HSBC bank was caught laundering drug money and no one was arrested because they were afraid it would unsettle the markets and the financial system. So now we have a corporation that is above the law and an example to all the others that it is OK to commit whatever crime you want. You won’t get prosecuted. Any question that we have become a society ruled by the wealthy, for the wealthy? And bankrupting us to do the work of building the American Empire will destroy our democracy once and for all.
The Tea Party is such a patchwork of different ideas it’s hard to say what they really stand for. Even calling them a “party” is something of a misnomer. They’re more or less united on just a few key ideas according to the NY Times (go look it up on Wikipedia, I’m not repeating it).
.Why am I suddenly reminded of Queensrÿche’s song, “Speak” by this strip? Oh yeah, it’s the line, “The rich control the government, the media, the law.” Cap’n Eddie had it right; we should just scuttle things and start over from scratch.
How would citizens’ world be different if citizens had billions to spend on congressional lobbyist like corporations do? FYI I said citizens because that delineates between the person which is a human being and the new supreme court ‘person’ which could appaently be Exxonmobil, at&t, Pepsico or possibly a tax-exempt multimillion $ SUPERPAC. For as of now; citizens may vote in elections "corporate persons’ (corporatsons) cannot.
Please don’t blame Mr. Obama for the policies that are being forced upon him by the Conservative majority in the House of Representatives (who did NOT get the majority of the votes). The so-called bipartisanship of the Republican party is to bully the House (and the President) into implementing their ideas; then they blame the President for following their demands when their ideas don’t work.
Right, if not for all the sleazy businessmen that advertise on this website and every other place you see this comic strip, Wiley would be out of business too! What a lame ass hypocrite! Besides, the best way to stay in business these days is to get yourself some Obamabucks! Crony Capitalism is the new way!

wondering why bailout wall street banks are not demonized like unions. do unions nearly bring down the economy? do unions need bailouts?

No, Wiley isn’t prejudiced against business men. Not at all. Besides, it’s just a joke.

Hey, come on, he forgot about Tax Payer backed bail-outs.

Honesty and the ‘American Dream’ are still unattainable. The traditionalists remain in control.

And once again we forget that most of the corporations in this country are privately held, small mom & pop businesses.
