I have noticed how "some" individuals beat 'n' bash on Israel, almost without a pause in breath.
An enormous throng of people do not realise that 'without' Israel "we" (you and me) would NOT have stuff we have today. (superiour inventions, food "TESCO" etc, Current World Peace, Financial Banking on any level) As a result, the world without Israels input would be on an islamic level (Sharia), maybe this is exactly what the derogatorists of Israel want,
An Islamic World?
Regards.

This highlights the KEY ISSUE with US politics:
LOBBYISTS!!!
It's the very reason oil companies get HUGE tax breaks even though they rake in billions and keep on shipping jobs off-shore, the same reason the US starts wars so the weapons lobby can sell their stuff, the same reason the gap between rich and poor has been increasing DRASTICALLY over the past 40 years, and the same reason why the US will just continue to go down the drain until this is fixed!
The SYSTEM is broken, fix it. Until then, nothing will ever improve.

Wow! Lobbyists are paid by the companies that get the huge tax breaks. That's why these companies pay them, to get results.
Wanna get even with them?
Buy the lobbyists! Give them OUR (Middle Class) agenda and they will beat the corporations, oil companies and fat cats in a few months. They (The Lobbyists) already know what they did to get them (The Elite/Oil/BigPharma) where they are today. USE IT!edit on 2-8-2011 by DaWhiz because: pronoun direction. lol
