So this is how it works. You steal from the public purse to give money to the wealthiest corporations, leaving everyone else in such a state of survival that they will then do anything to get jobs working for the wealthiest corporations, who then steal more from the public purse.

+ corporate welfare, handouts, etc. + corporate gifts (yes, they exist) + corporate tax-world (very different than non-corp's) + corporate financing (unlimited) + + + Basically, it never ends, becomes generational. Corporate pockets are bottomless.

I agree with your diagnosis but not your prognosis. Those pockets are only bottomless until there is an awakening among the people. Once the corporatist propaganda stops working, the sleeping giant rises up. And the time for that is now.

That about sums it up. Which begs the question: What do we as citizens do about it? Vote? I don't think it'll be that easy. History shows no precedent for a more egalitarian society organically evolving from a deeply corrupted system of governance.

Women’s suffrage movement , Indian independence movement, the civil rights movement…There are many examples! It’s been done before & can be done again. We’re not the first generation to face anti-democratic forces; let’s just not be the first one to wimp out on doing the job.

You really mean you cut taxes and people pay less out of the income they earn from the companies that employ them. Who do you think you are Lenin? Stop with the veiled socialist message.

Saying anyone who wants to hold capitalism accountable for unethical behavior is “a veiled socialist” is the new corporatist talking point. Holding market forces to same ethical standards as every other corner of society won’t end capitalism; it will transform it & even save it.

OK I’m back!! Large corporations employ 1/2 our workers. Other 1/2 comes from small businesses; universal healthcare, better education & infrastructure would be the best boon for them.Greatest long term economic planning would be better elementary schools for every American child

I pray we can ‘see’ thru the false layer of personal security. All is not well. As l talk to peers there is a calm that s/n be there. We are on a precipice and too many are unaware. All pricing is out of line- groceries, gas, education, fun. How do we wake up?
