This was foretold when the BDI dropped precipitously early in the year and when the Chinese began walking away from commodities options more recently. The world economic demand has fallen dramatically. Coupled with the EMU problems its going to get rough very soon.

Whaa, whaa.

Poor babies.

They are trashing our democracy and now they are mad people are calling them on it? Pathetic.

But, believe it or not there are a how raft of folks who feel sorry for these clowns - the "Job Creators".

Fair game. You want to affect the lives of millions of citizens then you should be exposed and vetted.

Vermin always hate the light. This is part of the evidence that conservatives just don't like this democracy stuff. All this transparency and openness just doesn't work for them. It sure makes you wonder how they earned their money and what other nefarious things they're doing with it that doesn't require such scutiny.

Shouldn't these guys be on a golf course or driving 10mph with their left turn signal on, instead of destroying democracy?

Transparency is a very good thing for our democracy. If these very, very rich men are purturbed, it goes with the territory. Grow up. They are distorting what our democracy is and the vision of it by their huge donations that would feed thousands of the poor. Yes, they want their way in the political process, but hey, this is far more than a "single vote" that all other Americans have.

Transparency is critical. Getting rid of the Citizen's United Supreme Court ruling is critical, too, and will eventually happen, but in the meantime these very rich men are taking advantage of the situtation quite easily and quite willingly. There is no ethics about this. They adjust their behavior for opportunism and the ideology of The Prince.

Poor little billionaires. If they stop trying to manipulate the system, they can scuttle back under their respective rocks.
