It's not corporations, it's the century+ old continuous encroachment of corporate supremacy

[Uncle Joe]

over "We the people's" government and in turn over the American People.

It's the legalization of bribery via lobbying by the mega-wealthy and super powerful corporate conglomerates with relatively unlimited resources.

It's the half century total disregard of former general, Supreme Commander and President Eisenhower's farewell address warning against allowing the military industrial complex aka; corporations too much power whether or unsought.

It's the Republican Party running away and the Democratic Party walking away from Eisenhower's warning only to embrace and put on a pedestal the ravings of a B movie actor speaking some asinine, insane phrase about how We the People's government are the problem.

It's the corporate media propaganda machine labeling said empty suit as "the Great Communicator" while he waged a surreptitious international war funded by drugs and at the same time, waged war against the American People's freedom and privacy in the name of fighting drugs.

It the determination that corporations are persons, money is speech and corporations should have no limitations on using their megaphones to drown out the voices of the people during elections, under the guise of issue advocacy.

It's the illogical, dysfunctional continued growth and privatization of loose cannon, tapeworm, mercenary corporations; ie: Blackwater/Xe etc. absorbing precious resources; both human and treasure from the publics' aka "We the Peoples'" military.

It's the idea that corporations should profit by imprisoning the American People leading to the record breaking largest prison population in the world.

It's the illogical, immoral, dysfunctional, and inefficient belief that corporations should profit from "gambling" on the American Peoples' injury, illness and death instead of allowing universal single payer health coverage for ever American from the cradle to the grave based on a progressive front door tax.

It's the 24/7 corporate media propaganda machine actively working to dumb the American People down from the critical issues of day affecting their lives, by promoting self serving spin or bread & circus stories ie: Tiger who gives a rat's ass, all to protect their corporate parents or corporate commercial buying clients, while the nation goes to hell in a hand-basket.

Corporate supremacy and domination over the people's true representative agents is and has been the problem, the fight against this 20th-21st century version of feudalism has only just begun.

5. I think there is reason to be pessimistic about the future of our nation. :( n/t

[Uncle Joe]

6. I believe we will go through a rough time period but our intangibles are strong

and various looming tipping points will leave no choice but to change.

The challenge will be to direct this inevitable, upcoming radical change energy in to constructive, expansive endeavors while avoiding the lowest common denominator path of anarchy, arrogance, chaos, division, greed, selfishness, full blown fascism and ultimately national/global destruction.

To that end, the nation's political center of gravity must be pulled to the left, if the corporations; have any vision, they know this to be true, the current rightward path goes only leads to a cliff, from a local, national and global perspective.

The public good or "general welfare" short and long term must be reaffirmed as the prime directive and the issue of corporate supremacy; over the people and their government in all of it's manifestations must be directly confronted on a continuous basis.
