Thoughts on Corporate America

[Demeter]

"...it is a government by the corporations, for the corporations."
--Rutherford B.Hayes 19th President of the USA. =

-Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary =

"Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy"

---John Pierpont Morgan =

But that's the whole point of corporatism: to try and remove the public from making decisions over their own fate, to limit the public arena, to control opinion, tomake sure that the fundamental decisions that determine how the world is going to be run -which include production, commerce, distribution, thought, social policy,foreign policy, everything-are not in the hands of the public, but rather in thehands of highly concentrated private power. In effect, tyranny unaccountable tothe public.

- Professor Noam Chomsky, interviewed in Corporate Watch =



"Can it be believed that the democracy which overthrew the feudal system and vanquished kings will retreat before tradesmen and capitalists?"

Alexis de Tocqueville 1805-1859
