The name?

That's why we should deregulate the corporations and give them more freedom to act like the tyrants they long to be.....because we don't trust them. Do I have that right?

Or is it that the corporations, being the government, have taxed and regulated themselves into being forced to offshore all of their money and jobs?

Phew, talk about being your own worst enemy!

And should you take these comments to be directed at you personally... I would like to commend you on your clairvoyance.

What's say we quit being the biggest smart ass on the block as address the reprecussions of Cyprus going belly up. Does this mean tha any government, any where , can seize your wealth, which is concentrated in fiat currency, at any time is suits them?

Or does that require a certain amount of knowledge and brain power that you (left wing) types don't possess?

PS: I didn't come here looking for a fight. But you'll have to better than defining me as (right wing). No offense, but do you suspect as being as stupid as you suspect?

well met....I think

One of the reasons there is a tax on deposits there is this is not the first time the small country has been bailed out......people in the EU feel they should not have to do it again without the citizens in said country meeting them halfway so to speak. I think the Russians have bailed them out in the past also.
