Corporate/neo-con def. of Freedom...
The freedom to loot and pilfer from your pocket,sweat and blood


http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/04/316533.shtml



"The corporate world is becoming free to do anything
they want - destroy air quality, poison the water
supply, not be sued for harm to citizens, etc. They are
having Congress pass laws that take rights away from
citizens that have been in place for over 200 years. And
they are having Congress REMOVE laws that took
decades to get passed (deregulation). And a funny thing,
Congress is not updating the punishments for crime that,
nowadays, amounts into BILLIONS of dollars in theft.


Having the freedom to own a post office box in the
Cayman Islands and avoid hundreds of millions of
dollars in taxes, the freedom to buy into shady tax
shelters and avoid hundreds of millions in taxes, the
freedom to move operations to a communist dictatorship
and avoid hundreds of millions of dollars in wages and
benefits, the freedom to pay themselves astronomical
salaries and options, the freedom to shovel profits into
off-shore accounts, the freedom to keep the white collar
criminal code 100 years behind the times, the freedom to
decimate communities with Walmarts while sending sons
and daughters off to fight in illegal wars......"
