32. You hit the nail on the head with this comment:
"The strategy apparently is to allow teams to change, but keep the corporate culture in Washington DC the same."

Regardless of which team is 'in power', both teams are rakin' in the dough with the status quo, while WE THE PEOPLE are being sold down the river by our 'representatives.'

Until we get corporations out of the political process I see little chance of change. As for how to do that, it's going to have to start at the bottom & work up. Local governments are going to have to implement laws & regulations that reign in corporate dominance & regulate their behavior. Unfortunately, for that to happen, WE THE PEOPLE must start paying attention to what our city councils & state legislators are doing in our name & with our tax dollars.

Arghh!!! I don't have much faith in people paying attention as long as they are comfortable.
