What gets me is that we seem to be ignoring the fact that the US government, for the most part, is in complete collusion with the corporations that are gutting us for all they can. Look at the health care, look at union busting, look at NAFTA, look at Medicare and the drug program. Look at the frickin war! It doesn't seem possible that our federal and state representatives are so gullible as to accept proposals from corporations that continually result in increasing corporate profits at the expense of citizens. They are colluding. Public officials are bought with the promise of joining the filthy rich club, plain and simple, so they willingly sell us out. And the more money corporations get, the stronger their control of media and propaganda machine becomes, and the harder it becomes to change public opinion and get the public to see how they are being screwed.
