In what may be the natural order of things, those with power and amassed wealth devised a thing called a Corporation. Hiding behind corporate veils, they were able to invent ways of extruding wealth from the American people. They created corporate mechanisms that have the power to change government ‘by and for the people’, into ‘government by and for the few’. These corporate front organizations ate each other, merged, gained access to our courts, legislatures, and financial institutions passing laws and making decisions that have almost destroyed the creativity and hope that created the wealth.
A few “kings” now control America’s financial and natural resources. They are forcing America’s downfall. The current majority on our Supreme Court is vested in this Corpocracy. The GOP and many Democratic leaders have become puppets working against the people they claim to serve. Many do this, I must assume, because they haven’t figured out what happened to the America that unleashed individual creativity and made this country great.
The Billionaires are now destroying public schools and a national education system that has its faults, needs to evolve, but is the best the world has ever known. They are destroying every representational and electoral system that allows citizens (workers) to organize and have a say in how they work and are compensated. They are enhancing top-down coercive management systems that allow a few to control the many. If you have doubts about this, use Google to access information about any members of the Billionaires Club. Start with ALEC and Koch. Study foreigners Murdoch and Pearson. Look judgmentally at Gates, Eli Broad, the Waltons, and… They are few, and they are weakening the heart of America.
There is a solution. End the ills of the corporation. Redistribute wealth by closing loopholes for the ‘kings’ and fairly taxing all Americans. In essence, redistribute wealth; the people’s reward for work and creativity.
