Maybe we are seeing the REAL American government at work?

Okay you can call my wife a crazy tin foil hat nutter but she just finds it so amazing how corporate America is really controlling all our aspects.


Just look at DU

Girl working at McDonald's can only get her check on an Chase Debit card that seems to take a lot of her hard earn money trying to get her hard earned money.

This scheme has been going on with a couple of employers my wife works with.


My wife was trying to find some information for me on renewing my ID and well the Penn dot website kept leading her to advertisement for car insurance (YES, I know car insurance is important BUT do we need advertisement on a state government website that should be giving information.)

We see places like facebook gathering as much information about us and storing it than guess who wraps that information in a big Patriot Act "BOX" and is holding onto it.

This weekend we saw a story about a check point looking for "Willing" members of the driving community to just go ahead and had them some DNA.

Who is going to stop the government from using the mining of Data to allow corporate America from putting those who owe a credit card money from keeping them from getting a job or just making the for profit prison complex even more profitable.

She doesn't want to sound like Alex Jones BUT she can't believe how a lot of people aren't as upset as the Prism system.

rating. The poor and highly indebted are effectively barred from any sort of job that involves a background check, which is practically all of them that pay a living wage.
