Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

And our government for what it's worth is the only thing standing in the way between them and us. Once the government is starved and robbed of all rules and laws that protect us from these behemouths, the only recourse we'll have left is an 800 number to an automatic complaints line. Then they will finally own us.

 The citizens united ruling by the supreme court has given them the same rights has living persons and the ability to dump unlimited amounts of cash into political races. They own us already.   Take the money out of Washington and we might have a chance to again have a government that works for us.

I just got around to reading this. Who else has?

Hey, we have the best government money can buy.  The whole democrat/republican thing is just to polarize the people and keep us behaving like we think we have a say.  This is far from what the founding fathers envisioned.  "Anyone who actively seeks public office should not be allowed to hold it".  It's supposed to be a public SERVICE to be in office and they've turned it into a money and power free-for-all.

Come on man, corporations are knights in shining armor in exile just waiting for the opportunity to ride in and save the day when the threat of actual tax payments are lifted. Just do away with taxes altogether and they'll come back. Well, that and when Americans are finally willing to stop being so greedy and work for $1.50 an hour and eat chicken buttholes instead of brand-name mac and cheese.

So to recap; no taxes for corporations and third world wages. Let's get workin' on that. Together; WE CAN.
