Corporate Domination Is the Defining Issue of Our Time
It’s not ‘wokeness,’ even war is just another mechanism to siphon public dollars, and our days of peaceful protest are numbered
Everybody knows it; our government is purchased. Special interest groups run the show. Lobbyists write the freaking legislation, handing the member of congress who introduces it some key talking points before it’s codified into law.
Politicians spend the overwhelming majority of their time on the phone begging for money and promising to return the favor, then making stock trades using information they’ve obtained in the hallowed halls of government. A place where really ‘going pro’ means to get a powerful committee spot, then cashing in and becoming a lobbyist yourself or getting paid seven figures to be on a corporate board and show up to a couple of meetings a year.
The federal budget is a pretext for handing billions in cash to corporations, and 99% of legislation passed in the last fifty years has been to the sole benefit of big business and oligarchy.
That famous Princeton study from 2014 said it best: America can no longer be considered a democracy. The will of the people and public opinion have almost zero effect on what legislation is passed.
