Citizens Against Government Waste political ad

submitted by syncron

1 decade 3 years 6 months 1 week ago

I saw this ad created by Citizens Against Government Waste on CNN while at work:

A Chinese professor in a dystopian future lectures his students on how deficit spending, health care reform, government takeovers and massive debt lead to the collapse of the US.

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) is non-profit group that has campaigned on behalf of the tobacco industry and in favour of Microsoft and against open source software.

CAGW has "received funding from:

Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation
Merrill Lynch & Company Foundation
Exxon Corporation (now ExxonMobil)
Ingersoll-Rand Company
Johnson & Johnson
F.M. Kirby Foundation
Philip Morris
RJR Nabisco (now part of the Altria Group)
Sears Roebuck & Company[9]
Others listed include:

John Deere Foundation
Eaton Charitable Fund
Columbia/HCA Foundation

Fear mongering is not acceptable. I found this to be quite terrifying, and I happen to be Chinese too :-/

Anyone who claims that the government is any more wasteful than large corporations is either ignorant, deluded or lying. Waste has far more to do with sheer size than anything else.

And I won't even begin to address the inherent stupidity in swallowing propaganda from those with a financial incentive to lie, and a complete lack of morality or ethics.

Moving this video to syncron's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
