nader in top form

ralph has a power zone

and the recent
Abraham of  k street scandal
        has thrown
 a very straight pitch
 smack dab into the middle of it ...

here's the patented nader whack 

================  


  refom the lobby system  ??

fuck that repair the damage first...



what we really need sez ralphy boy


is......


"one  sweeping bill "


"Congress should decree 
that every federal agency 
shall terminate all below-market-rate sales,
 leasing or rental arrangements 
with corporate beneficiaries, 
including of real and intangible property;
 shall cease making any below-market-rate loans
 or issuing any below-market-rate 
loan guarantees to corporations;
 shall terminate all export assistance
 or marketing promotion for corporations; 
shall cease providing 
any below-market-rate insurance;.....
 shall eliminate all liability caps;
 and shall terminate any direct grant,
 below-market-value technology transfe
 or subsidy of any kind.
 The bill should also amend
 the Internal Revenue Code 
to eliminate all corporate 
"tax expenditures" 
 listed in the President's annual budget"

"Some of what gets cancelled
 in such a bill might be good public policy.
 If so, Congress should reauthorize it. 
But there's too much accumulated 
contribution/lobbyist-driven 
institutionalized graft 
for a case-by-case review 
to eliminate what's in place"

but first

" What's needed is a clean slate'
