What BP's $20 Billion Penalty REALLY Means...
The $20 billion pledge Obama got from BP won't even begin
to pay a small fraction of the devastation BP is responsible
for...Not only that, but the case can be made that BP won't
suffer one bit from having to raise this amount of money.We will.Video:http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/873.html Some of the damages BP is responsible for include:* A significant US industry - fishing in the Gulf of Mexico
- OBLITERATED!That's fishermen, boat builders, boat maintenance, fish
processing plants, fish wholesalers, fish transport workers,
fuel dealers, dock facilities, fishing and fish processing
equipment makers and on and on it goes* The value and appeal of Gulf coast property and tourism
from Louisiana to Florida is heading to zero That's homeowners, banks that hold loans on Gulf property,
real estate brokers, hotels, restaurants, tourist facilities,
local governments and all the people who supply and work
for these entities.* Incalculable, long term health liability Which, of course, is not getting even the slightest mention
in the corporate-owned US news media.Instead we're being fed pictures of lone birds covered with
oil and beaches with a handful of tar balls on them. Easier to show than permanent lung and genetic damage to infants,
small children and fetuses.(Gee, where are the right-to-lifers when you really need them? I guess
the right to life doesn't include the right to be free of being poisoned
in utero by well connected corporations.)Video:http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/873.html
