... against all comers be they other individuals, companies banks, or the bleeding gevernment is what the "decl of Ind and the Constitutuion" = The Law, is actually all about. It's a balancing of the powers subsistant in THE People. When the People speak, the crooks better listen or move overseas. The repeated chnaging of the Laws "after the event" which repeated Repubs and Demos have been doing for decades is insuffient. REAL CHANGE...

... millions) who, even today, are fortunate to eke out an income of a few hundred dollars a year. According to ChinaDaily there are over 20million Chinese who earn less than $100/yr.
