EU Pirate Policy : aint "War" but is "shoot to kill". a Q&A

17-09-2008 13:51

Fed Bailout/Takeover Of A.I.G., More Of The Same! The Working People Need Real,

17-09-2008 08:40

The Federal Reserve System bail-out/takeover of AIG means more of the same: more diversion of working people’s tax money to speculation and Wall Street profiteering and away from working people’s welfare.
