Beware of Red Communist Wall Street - Partnering with Communist Regimes ?What does that say about Wall Street and their views on employment and governing? Scary that they're also partnering with, paying off, and taking over our government.

Price setting is rampant - when one monopoly raises product price - the others do the exact same

Over the course of about 40 years, how much money was spent, and how many lives lost fighting 'communism' from the 50's through the 80's?

But now in a matter of a decade they are our 'favorite' trading partner and recipient of our technology and jobs, making them prosper at a rate that would spin your head.

Comparing our post-war relationship with Germany or Japan and how we have become allies with them is not a valid comparison. Our relationship with those countries is not the same as our relationship with the PRC... who is not our allie in any sense.

One could make an argument that the actions of Wall Street is treasonous, and damages our national security.

Workers in China rent cages to live in for half their monthly income - the workers there are stuck they have no choices - we are on our way there ... The same people who are ok with this are the very American companies that are bribing our own government to do their bidding here as well - this is scary scary scary

well yes it's sad that there's a line out the door due to only having one cashier while business is thriving and the one cashier (who makes $6.00 an hour) has to keep up with the work of the other 2 cashiers who don't exist. Wondering who pockets from our little cashiers hard work and lack of assistance (Some as-hole Wall Street Schmuck that got an extra bonus for coming up with it). We all also know subsidies are funding the economy at this point - sad that our poor little cashier has to also accept all those EBT's from non-citizens who get their medication free while she goes another year without seeing a doctor. But there again CVS doesn't care where the money comes from - with all that influence over the government it's funny that it's now required all stores accept it (even makes them seem innocent) notice the label accommodations though - you can figure out what I'm referring to.

Corporations and communist countries are ran by a board of directors from the top down, they are basically the same thing.
