12. What upsets me is that we have allowed money to take over politics that at one time belonged to US.

Letting Big Biz take over the 3 branches of government AND the mass media...there will be hell to pay one day, maybe not in our lifetimes. Plutocracies never have a happy ending. Just violence and bloodshed. And a lot of dead people.

However, maybe one day corporations will finally have enough money and power and resources to allow the labor force the privilege of something more than merely existing from one paycheck to the next.

For people that hate unions, it is strange how many do not mind living in one!

I think the fusion of commerce>politics>fundamentalism has sent us into a one way conflict that will not end pretty for those living in that time period.
