US #4: We the People
|
Unimaginable billions of tax deductible corporate dollars still gurgle through corporate public relations, advertising and law firms. Radio, television, magazine, and movie corporations keep selling their relentless message: "Corporations: efficient; good. Government: wasteful; bad."
Giant corporations bully and browbeat. They denounce people like you and us as Luddites, Commies, treehuggers and '60s leftovers. They homogenize people into consumers. They turn life into corporate theme parks.
They also manipulate our government. It's nothing personal, of course. It's just that when they turn our own government against us - bureaucracies and courts and police and military get paid with our money - they make us into the king's subjects all over again. But the United States got rid of the king a long time ago. We are supposed to be self-governing people. You know, We the People.
