@Mephistopheles no evidence?!!! What about the supreme court declairing that corporations have the same privileges and rights as a human being. They have complete freedom to spend as much money, in secret, as any citizen to influence elections! They don’t even have to be domestic corporations. What do you call that? I believe that the 5 justices that made that ruling are guilty of treason and should be impeached.
How about the fact that unions have been vilified and broken by legislative action since Reagan. Without unions, who has any power at your work site, your bosses, not you. Safety rules are ignored in mines because they are too expensive and executives move freely from industry to government regulators, back to industry.
Only a few corporations now own the news papers you read so they are free to tailor the news to meet their agenda. Corporations now own prisons and support stiffer sentences to keep them full. Are you seriously suggesting that we are not controlled by corporations?
What to you call keeping money tight and jobs low so that the people that have work don’t want to do anything to upset their employer that hasn’t given them a raise in 2 years? That is the first step to indentured servitude. Remember, no matter what your job, it can be outsourced, with tax breaks, and you may even have to train your replacement.
I can see people entering into contracts that insure employment at very low rates just so they have enough money to feed their family. I already know people that work so that they can have health insurance. Isn’t that turning your life over to a corporation?
