They can hide in corporate castles on"private land" where there is no way to address our grievances. Yeah, we can hold rallies and bitch outside their private building on private property. But we will be ignored, and the police (that we pay for) will hold us back and nothing will change. That is why Teabaggers hate public government. They can't stop Progressivism in that arena.
