back in the 1700's when we were first forming our nation, who said:

Democracy will work until some individual or group of individuals figures out that they can vote themselves money?

And here we are, with the very best politicians that money can buy.......At the complete mercy of the United Corporations of America, who are truly the ones running America.....

About 40 years ago, a friend gave me a copy of Kurt Vonnegut's JAILBIRD......LOL, it should be required reading..........reminds me of a lot in these troubled times, of the un-fathomable number of powerful Corporations, owned and operated by the UBER Rich Oligarchs.... Truly running America.....
Appropriately called by Vonnegut......the RAMJACK corporation at the very top.......
