U.S.- Style Democracy & Banks Need Foreign Money And Help To Survive

Why are some pundits so upset about Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and other major financial instutions giving up significant ownership stakes in exchange for desperately needed cash infusions from China, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and other foreign countries?

Would the pundits rather these countries refuse to help? The pundits say it's a matter of principle. Gee then wht's the principle that allows app. 12 million illegals to live in the U.S. in a relatively pampered state of care including allowing some to vote? America prints money like Disney's Sorcerer's Apprentice to underwrite it's false " all are equal" philosophy. So multinationals need China's cheap labor to prosper and pay taxes so our government can support a welfare system for the " equals"who are chronically unemployed or under employed.

If we as a country want to get serious about who owns America and who has rights in America then we will have to get serious about rights being tied to performance. NO FREE LUNCH AND THAT INCLUDES CORPORATE WELFARE .

S.F. Supervisors Need Oath From Illegal I.D. Applicants.

May I offer a suggestion to our Board Of Supervisors?

Whereas S.F. Supervisors are the paragon of liberality and recently affirm this with the issuance of I.D. cards to illegal immigrants. Whereas S.F. Supervisors would like San Franciscans at large to follow and model their own personal behavior on the Board's personality. Should it not follow that the mostly poor,illegal immigrants that we want to attract to San Francisco be somewhat modeled on the Board and our city's preferred resident? Therefore to that goal I propose the requirement of a an oath of preferred behavior from said illegal immigrants before they be granted quasi-legal illegal status.

To wit:

I am an illegal immigrant and I promise the following. So help me Tom Ammiano.

1) I will never have children until I am legal.
2) I will never be a burden to the S.F. tax payer.
3) I will never commit ANOTHER illegal act which includes promoting or supporting cock fighting or using or selling drugs.
4) I will never litter.
5) I will never vote republican.
6) I want affirmative action status against other settled minorities so that the Board can appear to be even more liberal than previously imagined. How else can I afford to live in the city? Maybe if the Board would partition some homes in the Western Addition, Chinatown or Pacific Heights?
7) I promise to be ambivalent about anything that requires critical thinking.
