48. It's not even an analogy.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Romney/Ryan are just the figureheads of a new battle in the very same war that Big Business has been waging against the general population since before the Gilded Age. The "Business Plot" against FDR was one of the most spectacular battles and might even have included a planned assassination attempt, but there has been one skirmish after another for a very long time.

Big Business sees all natural resources, including people themselves, as commodities to be exploited and used to their own benefit. Polluted water, filthy air, stripped/contaminated soil, tainted/unhealthy "food" -- these are just "opportunities" for them to force people to buy the half-remedies that their companies offer for a price.

They have zero interest in protecting the environment, or people's health and dignity. They want ultimate power. They are the would-be owners of that "boot stamping on a human face--for ever." (Orwell, 1984).

We ignore this war they wage against us at the dire peril of all Humanity and the Planet herself.
