While it is true we live in a totally fucked up country, the worse news is that we live in a totally fucked up world. Multi-national corporations have no respect for borders. They take their corruption wherever they want.

we have to serve and pay homage to.
We all listen to the business news called "your money" when in fact it is not our money. We worry when the money that is not ours doesn't grow and feel good when the money that is not ours grows. We are willing to take it on the chin to help the money that isn't ours grow.
We are conditioned to bow and serve "the market"
That is the same as buying into the "job creator" bull shit. Just watch how many here will say we have to make sure "the market" grows.
