Both Democrats and Republicans have failed us over these years, but the bulk of the population including the tea party protesters have just as much to
blame in my opinion. We allow ourselves to be controlled by astroturf campaigns, by actors who make money off feeding people emotional cr*p like Glenn
Beck, Keith olbermann, by scare mongerers like Alex jones, we run around like idiots and then we complain about our representitives when we in part
are pushing the nation to where it is by buying BS. Meanwhile we ignore the corporations that are making a killing at our expense.
I agree with almost everything you said in the above.
The problem with the corporations, though, is that it is that the relationship with citizens is a very complex one. On the one hand, as you said, the
monopolistic tendencies of the last forty years of corporations, is definitely hurting the average citizen.
On the other hand, they provide the vast majority of non-government jobs in this country, either directly, or indirectly. In addition, because of
those monopolistic tendencies, they provide the means for most citizens to survive and live.
Therefore, the question is what do we do with the corporations?
