Dear John Stossell, The politicians couldn't care less about companies closing as they want to 'TAKE CONTROL OF ALL AMERICANS' and this is why they won't change voting laws! Taxpayers have been Discriminated against for years with the non-working people being allowed to vote so they can continue receiving social and welfare programs and money they're not entitled to! Companies have repeatedly stated "we'll have to cut work staff if any more increased happen!" Guess what happens then? This is exactly what the politicians want - more control, bigger government! Isn't this like the Healthcare, Freddie, Fannie, AIG, Automakers, Insurance, bailouts, handouts, social and welfare programs costing trillions America doesn't have?
After the politicians did the Nafta and Cafta - the selling of America - they should have been shipped to all these foreign countries, at that time, with no return to America!

America is now an enslaved nation with trillions of dollars in debt and all because of deceit and greed. I'm quoting John Adams - "There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the other is by debt."
Surely, you remember history and the Dictator that said "We'll destroy America and never lift a finger!" If this doesn't wake you up, nothing will!

I love the Capital system that Both parties have destoryed from Johnson,Nixon, Reagan{who was the biggest spenders and accumulator of Massive debt and federal deficits of all times until Bush2} and final the KING of Debt building Bush2.One must remember, that not only have we been charging up our debt on our Credit cards we also been shipping our working classes jobs over seas and signing massive free trade agreements that have been approved{especially by Repub's}by most of our presidents/Congresses since Johnson and continue today!
I always get a kick out of the forgetfulness or IS it called "Temporary Anmenia" that especially Repub's get into, in justfy their New awaking of Budget concerns as their past hero's i.e. REAGAN/Bush2 broke World records in deficits spending,robbing the intergovernment trust funds and in general destorying our working classes and their jobs.
