Yeah, the subject of the shady behind closed doors illegal deals that politicians do every day with the highest bidder. We have no way of knowing what is going on. We only see the results.
And your perspective is that it's "Big Business" who is at fault.
Mine is that it's the Govt. with all the power and they sell their power to the highest bidder.
In the end, we all get fucked...I'm just surprised at how successful the govt. has gotten at manipulating the population.
Back in the 1960's/early 1970's people protested against our govt.
Now...nothing. Hell, the media (who are supposed to be the watchdogs of govt.) haven't even shown any inclination to do what was once referred to as "investigative journalism".
These days they just go to the press room, get a copy of the official White House statements...and report it as fact.
Instead of "embedding" with the troops in Iraq and scrambling to be the biggest ass kisser to the White House so they could get the "good" assigned "embeddment"...they should have been investigating the Bush admin's claims that there were "Weapons Of Mass Destruction".
After that embarrassment, I would think they would have straightened up. But no...they continue to NOT do their job with the Obama administration.
The govt. seems to have it all wrapped up from my point of view.
Nobody is questioning them or holding them accountable. The media doesn't. And the people argue amongst themselves (like we are doing).
Textbook example of misdirection. Penn & Teller couldn't do it any better.
