Giuliani Not Good For Health - Safe Child Custody Fund

The HMO, Pharma, Corporate Conglomerate Man

In recent news reports: On the subject of health care, Rudy Giuliani believes U.S. citizens should take care of themselves because the government cannot take care of them. He described the Democrats' proposal for universal health care coverage for Americans as "socialized medicine." But, it seems some people in the U.S. already have "socialized medicine," case in point, politicians and their families, VETs, etc. (So, Rudy, it's a wash! The people take care of the government.)

Ironic--it seems Rudy's choice to deny compensation to firefighters and others with medical issues resulting from 9/11 would extend to other tax payers who paid his salary/medical expenses as former mayor of New York and would also pay his salary/medical expenses if he's elected president.

It sounds like someone's keeping pace with the polls (the little people want comprehensive health care). Now, Rudy, why would you wait so long to talk about this topic? Did you think the messy health care business would just go away? So, Rudy, what's your health care wisdom for retired senior citizens?

Bully Rudy continues his totalitarian approach--if you disagree, you must be a socialist, worse, or banished. "Sheeesh! Easy, there, Rudy, the checks are in the mail," said the corporate sponsors.

My feelings about him are: 1) we can do better than him 2) he should go back to New York and hang out with the firefighters who hate him 3) we can do better than him 4) he's a power-hungry lunatic 5) he should do something about his status-climbing wife before she make us all physically ill by describing her sex life with him, again, in more news headlines 6) we can do much better than him!

andi, You're all over the place. Dude, you forgot to give Lurch credit for 9/11 (America's Mayor). Oh, that's right, the firefighters were the real heroes then too. Oh well, maybe next time.

Why do Americans confuse a leader with a bully. Or are they the same thing?

seniors have Medicare but since they've been saying it might not be around, this is a good question for Lurch.

My gram can't afford all the expensive medicine that she's on. She's been talking about going with her friend to Canada for cheaper medicine. What's this place going to be like if Giuliani is president and expects seniors to fend for themselves and travel to Canada just to get cheaper medicine. He's whacked!

Is Medicare socialized medicine? The way they say it works is that people pay into this thing and then they get it back when they get old. But I've been hearing the same thing...about them saying it won't be around for long. Doesn't it still fall in a so-called socialized program? The people who paid before were really paying for the people who are getting it now and so on. Don't they all get about the same no matter what they paid into it? How come it's okay in some instance but not with others for the right wingers?

I can think of so many things that could fall into this term, "socialized." The money-making, right-wing, capitalists seem terrified of any word starting with "social," and it make sense to give them some more scary words, like, social reform, social policies, social security, socialization, social contract, social issues, social responsibility, social worker, social stigma, social statistics, social security disability, social distortion, social science, social epistemology, social development, social research...just to name a few...

social justice, "SOCIALIZED MEDICINE," socialized behavior, socially aware, socialized society, social conscience, social morality, socialized children, etc...

______________________________

Americans are feeling the pinch in every way possible. The housing market is a catastrophe. The U.S. dollar is at an all-time low. Peter Schiff, on the Glenn Beck show (I know, I hate to quote his show on anything), said the government is lying to us when they say inflation is at 3%. He said people went out and spent borrowed money on Black Friday. Like drug addicts, people continue to spend in addictive ways. Everything is more valuable than money these days so that sounds like inflation. It's simply a mirage that things are going well and there's money to spend when so many people are without jobs. Recession: when the state of the economy declines; a widespread decline in the GDP and employment and trade lasting from six months to a year. The predictions are so dire that it seems closer to depression: a period of drastic decline in a national or international economy, characterized by decreasing business activity, falling prices, and unemployment. It's been reported that Europeans are coming by plane loads to purchase items that we imported from them. They arrive in large numbers and purchase items with the stronger EURO dollar. Baby Boomers will retire with less money to live on. Some will have to work past retirement age just to survive.

The news reports are mostly jumping on board with reports that Iraq is doing so much better. Here's the trillion dollar question: How long will our military have to stay in Iraq in order for Iraq to do better? This, I believe, is relevant because it doesn't make sense that Iraqis would want to live for the rest of their lives in a military state of foreign occupation. Will we continue to fall for more lies from our government and the media? Correct me if I'm wrong but 180,000 is the number of American soldiers believed to be in Iraq. With that many soldiers away from their families and now living full time in Iraq, our military would have to get the job done. So when can they come home? The answer seems to be they won't be able to come home if they are to keep the powder keg from erupting in Iraq. How am I doing so far? They finally put enough soldiers in the disaster to calm the storm, but how long must this be maintained so others can claim success?

PLEASE JOIN ME IN THIS PLEDGE:

We, the people, demand that the government and media tell the truth; we reject your lies and the continued lack of regard for the lives of our soldiers and their families; we reject your dismantling of institutions that would have protected Americans against predatory lending practices; we reject your inability to protect children from the other types of predators who continue to destroy their lives and that of their parents; we reject your distortion of the facts when you lie to us about the state of the family court system that is by no means tilted towards women or the protection of innocent children; we will boycott you, your companies, your fabricated/distorted news reporting; we reject your alliances with foreign companies that export dangerous toys, poisoned foods and pet foods, and other dangerous consumer items into the U.S.; we will make up our own minds about our next president; we will reject whomever (presidential candidate) you push to the forefront for your own self-serving reasons; we reject politicians who use tax payers dollars for adulterous affairs and then turn around and tell us that we aren't entitled to receive some of the same money for our health and our children's health; we will shut you out as you have shut us out of our futures and that of our children's.

BOYCOTT NEWS PROGRAMS THAT DISTORT THE TRUTH!! GET INFORMED. POST INFORMATION WITH COMPANIES THAT STEAL FROM US AND HARM OUR LIVES. BLOG THIS EVERYWHERE!! TAKE BACK AMERICA NOW!!

Since you guys are calling for boycotts of companies that rip us off/the media, etc., I'll get the list started for us and if anyone else has more to add, please do so.

Companies behaving badly:

The latest company to employ sweatshops and take advantage of people in poor countries while taking jobs away from Americans is: Victoria Secret. But they've been doing this for a long time. I found this on Victoria on AlterNet:

D.K. Garments is a subcontract factory with 150 foreign guest workers (135 from Bangladesh and 15 from Sri Lanka), which has been producing Victoria's Secret garments for the last year. None of the workers have been provided their necessary residency permits, without which they cannot venture outside the industrial park without fear of being stopped by the police and perhaps imprisoned for lack of proper documents.

The Victoria's Secret workers toil 14 to 15 hours a day, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 or 10:00 p.m., seven days a week, receiving on average one day off every three or four months. All overtime is mandatory, and workers are routinely at the factory 98 to 105 hours a week while toiling 89 to 96 hours. Treatment is very rough, as managers and supervisors scream at the foreign guest workers to move faster to complete their high production goals.

Workers who fall behind on their production goals, or who make even a minor error, can be slapped and beaten. Despite being forced to work five or more overtime hours a day, the workers are routinely shortchanged on their legal overtime pay, being cheated of up to $18.48 each week in wages due them. While this might not seem like a great deal of money, to these poor workers it is the equivalent of losing three regular days' wages each week.

Workers are allowed just 3.3 minutes to sew each $14 Victoria's Secret women's bikini, for which they are paid four cents. The workers' wages amount to less than 3/10ths of one percent of the $14 retail price of the Victoria's Secret bikini. They're saying we can do something about Victoria's corporate greed and slave labor by: Writing to Leslie Wexner, the CEO of Limited Brands, which puts out Victoria's Secret clothing, and protest the treatment of the workers in Jordan:

Leslie Wexner, CEO

Limited Brands Inc.

Phone: (614) 415-7000

Read the rest: Victoria Secret Sweatshop labor.

Disney, Guess, Nike, J.C. Penny, and Victoria's Secret tops the "neediest and greediest" corporations list. The Gap was in the news recently but they have been a part of the sweatshop business for years (although some news organizations downplayed that in that recent news about them and how they've supposedly been doing better...maybe better at covering it up) Sweatshops still operating.

Here's the recent article on the Gap and child labor in India: The Gap Sweatshop Story: Child Labor in India. What happened?

BANKS: Chase and Bank of America outsource customer service jobs to the Philippines. (Most banks do this now as a common practice.) This is really a shytty thing because it's bad enough identity theft is bad in America but how much safer would you feel having to give your social security number, address, and other personal information to someone in another part of the world? It happened to a friend of mine who applied for a Chase credit card with a Philippino woman over the phone, and three weeks later, Chase had no record of my friend's credit application. She said she was on the phone with this woman for about an hour, and mainly repeating, over and over again what she told her. Now, she's worried and wondering who she gave her personal information to and what will happen to her credit (she's pulling all her credit reports from all the reporting agencies). Chase has a hand's off approach to the whole thing. They could care less even though they are the ones who directed my friend to call this woman in the Philippines by making it their customer service center. THIS IS SOMETHING BIG THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE CONCERNED ABOUT. WHO ARE WE GIVING OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO WHEN WE CALL A SO-CALLED AMERICAN COMPANY BUT END UP ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ANOTHER LANGUAGE AND VERY POOR ENGLISH AND IS MOST LIKELY OPERATING FROM SOME MAKESHIFT ROOM IN ANOTHER PART OF THE WORLD? BANKING DEREGULATION ONLY WORKS FOR RICH GUYS AND CAPITALIST GLUTS.

IBM sent thousands of American jobs to India. Colgate Palmolive did the same thing. Although Siemens ICN is a German company, they make a ton of their money here in America and from American consumers, but their plans for America included importing Indians to do the work here. Americans even had to train their Indian replacements in order to receive severance pay, read about "One man's crusade against outsourcing American jobs."

You guys might want to hook up to other media inside and outside of the U.S., especially when sometimes you can't get credible information or just reporting of the news rather than unique spins. Try: the UK's Guardian Unlimited.
