So now we've come to cheering executions and death and the impoverishment of the many for the gain of a few? The hollowing out and stripping of America, indeed the world, for corporate profits? Isn't it time for corporations to serve mankind and not the other way around? But we have no leaders. Where are the Democrats? Bought and paid for by the corporations is the answer.
How did we get here? Oliver Wendell Holmes said "Taxes are what we pay for civilization". Civilization and government's real role is simply protecting the weak from the strong, and creating order from chaos, all else is barbarism. The strong disdain government and the limits it places on them.
Impoverishing mankind for corporate profits is hardly American, and definitely not Christian.
So how do we fix it?
Free trade feeds corporate profits but takes away from countries, taxpayers, and their people. Imports aren't free, ports must be built, containers inspected, and government paid for.
The corporations and their minions have had their way in the world of late and we've seen their means and methods, playing desperate people against their brothers, and its not just, nice, or decent, but it is profitable and comes with a low tax rate.
Where are the Democrats with their ideas to bring shared prosperity back to our country? Have the corporations taken their voice permanently?
Do not forget that our revolution in 1776 was to get out from under corporate rule. We had to fight the British when they went to bat for their corporations that ruled over us.
