Article 1, Section 8 (POWERS OF CONGRESS) reads: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States we need another revolution (yep, i'm going to be on the department of homeland security's watch list for sure now).

GM and GE are 2 companies that would benefit from this. it's very disturbing.
