Unfortunately this isn't unexpected. The downside to the capitalist experiment is that it has long been expected that eventually one of the companies
gets to the top.
When that happens, they naturally take the government into their own hands to ensure the country does what is beneficial to the corporation at the
top... you can see examples of this all the way throughout the history of capitalism... a minor example would be the hoops minor businesses have to
jump through just to release a product, hoops the major companies have rallied to have in place, because it's easier for large corporations to waltz
through them. Licensing, certifications, the like.
As I said. In a country that panders to the will of the companies within it... eventually a few companies climb to the top. Corporations will do what
is in their best interest... if you're at the top, your best interest becomes being the government.
Capitalism, like Communism, can't survive as a free society. They have but two choices... come to terms with their true nature as Capitalist or
Communist, or restart the system completely.
It looks like the US is simply coming to terms with it's nature as a Capitalist society.
Other countries chose to mix systems. The one main goal of many nations is to remain free and represented completely by the people.
The US goal isn't to remain free... it's to remain represented by the highest bidder. The freedom part was simply a starting point... you've long
since left it.
Looks like the arms industry is that highest bidder.



With the global financial meltdown happening....he is talking about
terrorism! ...when will the American people wake up and realize this is the biggest con game in history. It is nothing more than larceny....they
should all be rounded up and hung in front of the capitol building in DC. Then of course have the Beach Boy's play a concert.
