I've said this before on NT and I'll say it again. We don't have capitalism, we have corporatism. The corporations are the government (see rump's cabinet). This is how they extract wealth from everyone else. Use of force.

Um, yeah, sorta. But then again, so is the Roman Catholic Church. Not really sure where you are going, but I'm willing to listen.

I think pacs and other organizations spending unlimited amounts of money is a major problem in our elections. Sad some people do not.

Sorry, just can't get that worked up over it.

Didn't turn out to be the big, bad boogeyman some thought it would be.

Another Chicken Little scenario.
