Yes if you are a regular follower of American politics then this will come as no surprise to you at all. Here MSNBC Reporter Rachel Maddow goes threw some of the new bills being introduced from the Democrats to try and make sure the credit crunch that nearly destroyed the American Economy never happens again. Whilst the Republicans fight new bills that aim to make business fairer and safer.

Yes despite destroying the American and world economy, businesses are still trying to prevent some new bills aimed to ensure the catastrophe of green never happens again. One is the “too big to fail, to big to exist” act, which will disclose the banks and businesses the government deem so big that their collapse would need a government bailout to prevent harmful damage to the economy, and split them into smaller businesses.

No surprises there that businesses will use their republican puppets to try and block that bill. But that’s not the most disturbing story. If you need any proof that Businesses are put before people and quality of life. Many American businesses are pushing to block a new bill that will ban American Companies from importing stock made by, or using companies that use child labour and/or slaves in poorer countries. All because it might harm their profits.

This is not a one off event. Last month 30 Republicans voted against a bill that would ban the government from hiring companies that do not condemn their employees raping female employees. Yes some companies that the government use for services have a clause in their female employees contracts that they cannot prosecute  the company or guilty employees if they rape them.

It’s a disgusting state of affairs and what makes me more angry is that people don’t seem to care that this is going on. For too long we have put our economy before everything, even quality of life. It seems like charity is the only businesses doing any good in this world. Show me where I can make donations to charity instead of paying taxes and I’ll sign up.
