Politics on 7/3/11

BMW, having received a low interest, $3.6 billion loan from the US government during the 2008 bailout, now poised to reward Americans by outsourcing their parts operations and firing warehouse workers

When you read the Declaration of Independence, it turns out to be an indictment of King George III for various abuses of power. And those abuses of power look fairly similar to abuses of power we happily permit U.S. presidents to engage in today.
