Private Prisons: Immigration Convictions In Record Numbers Fueling Corporate Profits

Thursday, September 27, 2012


I think we're both coming from the same place, but where we part company is who's to blame -- And it is necessary to determine that (look back) in order to fix it (move forward).  

What Romney and other capitalists did and do isn't against the law.  As a matter of fact, what's against the law is when corporations' officers fail to work in the best interests of profits for their shareholders.  To try to fix the problem by appealing to a sense of honor (or shame) is futile.  It's got to be regulated and the regulations must be stringently enforced.  And for that, we have to look at the White House and Congress.  

Before Congress/White House were handing out incentives to corporations for offshoring Americans' jobs, they were making it possible for inmates at penitentiaries to take Americans' jobs for, literally, slave wages.  

We have several decades of politicians working on behalf of corporations and not the American people.  And whenever a Democrat gets into the White House, he hasn't worked to repeal what had been done before him, but has instead build upon his predecessors' assaults on the middle class.  

Where Republicans are straightforward about what they want and who they are (they have no shame), Democrats run on knowing better, but then do what Republicans do but spin it with prettier language.  And a poorly informed electorate, low information voters, believe it.
