Larry Flint – Wants Porn Bailout
The NY Daily News is running this story…
Yes, ladies and gentleman, the titans of pornography are begging for a bailout.
Joe Francis, creator of the “Girl’s Gone Wild” video series, and Larry Flynt, founder of Hustler, will ask Congress for a $5 billion bailout, according to TMZ.[...]
[...]XXX DVD sales have taken a hit – about a 22% hit, according the TMZ.
“With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind,” Flynt is quoted as saying on TMZ. “It’s time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America[...]
[...]“Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation’s most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration,” Francis is quoted as saying on TMZ.[...]
What is there I can say here… I think the man has lost his mind.
I’ll have the full market wrap tonight.
“I think the man has lost his mind.
Why? The greed and larceny displayed by the financial sector brings this kind of crap on. I would be surprised if he got some. But not very surprised.
This is the reason why smart people love Larry Flynt. Larry Flynt is pointing out a huge problem we have in this country with greed. Companies are crying that they are losing money, when the fact is they still turned a profit, just not more than/as much profit as the previous year. At the end of the year these companies still made money just the same as Larry Flynt, and Joe Francis.
The stock market is what kills our country. Because of all the companies out there have an obligation to turn a large profit for the investors it has driven companies to cut corners, raise prices, and out source products to non American companies costing the people of the USA to lose jobs.
If our new President “Obama” wants to make a change and bring jobs and money back to the USA, he needs to help out small business with tax breaks, and come up with programs where they can stand next to big business. Also he needs to create special programs for companies to buy American parts and products to even the price margin between cheap foreign labor and products.
This can be done with special tax breaks and/or rebates for buying, using, and producing American products. Doing this will create jobs, and put money in to the American economy. Even special shipping rates would be a big help for some companies that will help out their bottom line.
Another thing that would really help the economy is to regulate gas prices. Once fuel costs are down, FORCE all the companies to bring their product costs back down that raised their rates of products due to the raise in fuel and shipping costs.
Last thing he should do that I feel would be a great help is to fund a subway/metro train package for cities for transportation. This will cut down on many peoples need for gas, and will create a lot of jobs.
