Corporation Runs for Congress
If you haven’t seen this yet, it’s brilliant!
After all, big business has been buying and selling America for decades. Now, thanks to the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United, they can make it official. And why stop at Congress? Wal-Mart for Secretary of Labor! Enron for Secretary of Energy! Haliburton for Secretary of State!
Will we ever wake up as a nation and realize that our economic and political systems aren’t God-given creations but manufactured fronts for growing corporate power? We recognized colonialism and imperialism in the forms of kings and slaveholders. But now, dazzled by rows of “choices” at the supermarket, we ignore the same colonial legacy lurking beneath.
