The 10 Giant Corporations That Have Taken Over Much of Our Economy

[CincyDem]

12. So what's the problem we're trying to fix here ?

I get the issue with the bank concentration and how it's concentrated wealth, restricted access to capital and pretty much f*ed the economy for a generation.

But I look at the top pic and think about getting up in the morning brushing my teeth with Crest, washing my hair with Furctis, pitting up with some Old Spice and grabbing a quick bowl of Quaker Oats for breakfast with a glass of Minute Maid orange juice. I pack up some leftover Kraft Mac'n'Cheese and mix in some Starkist Tuna (yep, I know it's not in the pic but it's my weakness) for lunch. On the way out the door I sneak a mini Nestles Cruch bar from the kids halloween booty and tell my wife I love the look with her new L'Oreal mascara. At lunch, someone brings in some KFC and I grab a Coke to go with it. I know I shouldn't but I grab a handful (small I promise) of M&M's as I pass the receptionist's desk. My calls in the afternoon and asks me to bring home some Ben & Jerry's to celebrate my daughter getting a part in the school play that she really wanted. At dinner, I spill some chocolate ice cream on my shirt. I wipe it up with some Bounty (because the Koch's own Brawny) and I toss the shirt in the wash with some Tide and Snuggle. I fall asleep wondering if we have any Eggo's for breakfast.

I don't know - to me it doesn't sound like that's the same as the cartel that "destroyed the world economy".

Can someone put it in perspective.
