Corporations own this Government.

[oldlib]

They have complete control of the Republican party and they are making progress in controlling the Democratic party. Obama could save this country, and assure his re-election,if he would end this domination.

1. I agree. Huge multinationals do control all governments these days...

so it seems.

:(

2. The worship of money brings many bad things.

3. They also own the so-called "liberal media"

making it hard for those who are against this insanity to be heard OR to understand how insane things really are (e.g., Iraq invasion protests not covered).

4. This realization is about 235 years too late

The biggest illusions people in this country have are that they are free & that representative governments work for the people.
The U.S.A. has always been a LIE. I want you to understand this.
The business class, the aristocrats have run this land from the very beginning. It has NEVER been different at the core.
Y'all remember hearing about the Dutch East India Company in grade school, don't you? That was a corporation.
It was just a more modern way of doing what empires have always done & that is loot other lands for their own benefit.
How do you think Europe got so rich? What do you think the real purpose of America's Manifest Destiny was?
What do you think every war America has ever fought was about? And yes I'm including the sacred cow World War II. There's always a business motive.

When you see massive social change for whatever reason that either means The Powers have concocted a new scam & don't need to maintain the old one...
...or they have to pacify the angry people who outnumber them millions to one. And this second reason still falls under the first reason.

I said it before on this site & I'll say it again. The UNDERGROUND needs to be made bigger in the logo than the DEMOCRATIC part.
The Democratic Party is no more your friend than the Republican Party is. That's just political WWF. Just stageshow designed to bamboozle the public.
The real decisions are being made without your input & always have been.

It may be hard for you to face it but maybe you have to concede that this system we live under simply doesn't work.
Maybe representative government is a pipe dream & we need a new system that better checks human corruption.
When you give a dog enough room to run around in he thinks he is free but he's still fenced in.
We think we are free but most of us just can't see the fences. While we might have a bigger yard to run around in than some of our neighbors, we still got fences too.

The antidote to all of this foolishness is Unity but humans are poor at sticking together. Too much ego in the room, too much divide & conquer.
So it's all about that next best step. The one thing we can have much more say over is our minds & imaginations.
We have always had the numbers. The Enforcer Class protects the Rulers with their weapons but they simply can't take us all on. Numerical impossibility.
How do we create a fairer society that takes care of ALL knowing that we are poor uniters & the Enforcers have formidable weapons?

Once this question is answered, this kind of corruption will stop.

5. Don't count on it. He takes their money too.

7. Exactly. If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
