"Our real enemies are not those living in a distant land whose names or policies we don't understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it's profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us
I'm completely against war (or any violence) for any other reason than repealing invasion. But companies don't just go around laying off people because its profitable. It is not a companies duty to employ people in the first place, it is their job to make money, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Health Insurance companies don't just go around and willie neilly deny claims either. They may try to get out of paying some from time to time, who could blame them, but health insurance companies have never had very large profit margins at all, Last i check the industry average was only a 3% return on investment, small enough to make most other business go out of business.
Onto banks, I'm by no means a "bank" fan but, a bank normally looses money when they have to foreclose, it's the last thing they usually want to do (Wells Fargo aside, and they give money to democrats). What else can they do when someone can't keep up their end of the contract they signed?
