In the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries individuals left Europe to escape the bonds of feudalism in order to enjoy the prospect of freedom in America. Unhappily for most Americans their lives are now controlled by a new variety of feudalism - one that is Corporate in nature. Their very existence is now controlled by the power of corporations - employee working conditions, health care, pensions and income. All these critical items now depend on corporate good will and we all know that there is no sentiment in business.
The US Supreme Court has now permitted corporations even greater ability to fund election campaigns and, thereby, to control Congress. Corporations can now also increasingly fund judicial campaigns. It looks as if both freedom (legal redress) and democracy is being lost in America today.
Always remember that patritism is the last refuge of the scoudrel.
