2. So true,

and so sad.

[freshwest]

9. And profitable, too. Would we could make something worthwhile worth their efforts...

[agent46]

3. Used to be

That was the Teabagger mind scamble - as if they had no idea who was really keeping them down.

Now there's really not much difference left.

5. And instead of realizing that by investing & working for corporations

they only add fuel to the fire. We become coerced by the media to only pay attention to the most meaningless of scandals. Worry not that your money is working steadily & patiently to turn every last speck of remaining beauty in this world to a dollar sign. That your direct actions are legitimizing and adding your voice to the chorus of cash over country, money over environment, retirement over climate.
Let the chorus turn from a wail to a whimper.

6. So, CHANGE it!

It won't be easy, there is much work to do. But, if you really hate it so much, then you will be willing to do the work.

[ErikJ]

7. Yes, we need government of the People, by the People, FOR the People--not the corporations!

Get corporate money out of Washington!

[MrsCorleone]

8. Ha ha ha!

Perfection.

10. This is my family *sigh* n/t

[Sirveri]

12. Is there a serious difference between the two anymore?

[Junkdrawer]

15. That was my first thought....

Which "government" makes all the difference.

[DCKit]

13. And not a teabag in sight.

14. That's what corporations do

I'm pissed the gov't doesn't parent these wayward children. Admittedly, it's tougher when you're being bribed 24/7, but I understand the feeling.

16. Corporations aren't evil unless they are given people's rights and allowed to stomp on people

Not every corporation is destructive, but taking away The People's rights and giving them to corporations and letting those corporations "buy" elections and write legislation is destroying America.

Putting our rights to "life and liberty" into the hands of people who profit more by denying us both is a real definition of insanity.

19. Um, I beg to differ

A publicly held corporation, BY LAW, must make a profit. The minute it doesn't, shareholders (to whom the corporation serves) can hold a vote of no confidence, or even charge the boards and X-levels with fraud.

This is, and has been, a major path to disaster.

18. FTR, the government did enable all of these things

All the more reason to detest authority

[obxhead]

20. He's correct, but

for the wrong inferred reason.

It's the government responsibility to control the corporations. Instead it's the other way around.
