United States of Corporations

Why is it that Americans think that our federal government could possibly run a health care system that wasn't as corrupt as every other branch under its control? The bloated federal government, all consuming, owned and paid of by Ford/ GMC, Bank of America/CitiCorp, Philip Morris/Kraft/Nabisco, Locheadmartin / Boeing Co., Black water, UnitedHealth Group/Aetna/Health Net/Merck , Exxon/Conoco/Chevron, Countrywide. The country really should be called the United States of Corporations.

But we like to think that we are a Democracy where all the little people matter.... this is the problem ..we support big brother. And hell we love our corporations, they sell us cheap products that are made of toxic waste, made shoddily by poor people in China outsourcing our labor/technology/and design. We love to support the destruction of our very own towns and cities with huge big boxes that insure the death of what was local viable business. The Laissez-Faire system of capitalistic economy doesn't consider what happens when people turn into consumers who only care about buying the 'cheapest' items (Walmart). Good buy today means death of some local business tomorrow.
But we like it that way in the United States of Corporations.... we like convenience, trustworthiness, and economy so much that have sold our hearts and souls to the devils of corporate America. We even buy their stocks because they are 'reliable' in growth and yields.

"And I think this Citizens United case, which gave the corporations the ability to interfere in elections in a major way, through their money, puts us at risk of openly having a corporate-dominated government. Now it’s kind of a secret, I suppose, in some places. But it’s now—you know, once Citizens United was decided by the Supreme Court in the way it was, now it’s basically open season on anyone who challenges these corporate interests and a free pass for anyone who supports them. A real danger to our democratic tradition calls out for constitutional remedies, and there are many that are now being considered, and I’m certainly working on some."REP. DENNIS KUCINICH see transcript

So here we are with all major decisions based on a bicker fest between the Republican and Democrat politicians. They keep each other at bay, and the only change that occurs is watered down, and not the big changes that need to occur. As the corporations legally hire on more politicians its going to get even worse. So as the clock ticks away toward it seems at this time the destruction of the planet, our environment, our rivers, oceans, and air, we consume, consume consume more crap that some corporation convinced us we need.

They dont call me 'Sunshine' for nothing....
