Due to 40 plus years during which corporate profit has replaced democracy as the governing principle of our society a small group of Americans have received the extraordinary bounty of this corporatist scheme while 4 out of 10 Americans now struggle economically on a daily basis.

And yet, Americans are convinced they deserve the scraps. That inequality is somehow the fault of the poor, that health care should be at maximum profit, that retiring with dignity someone else's problem. We should be in the streets yet we do nothing that will effect change.
