What will our country's political system look like when the corporations have completely ingrained themselves into every facet of American life? I am sure it will be an authoritarian one. We Americans who are not part of the ruling class will have to fend for ourselves as best we can. With little money and resources to build a comfortable life from, we will be forced to accept whatever provisions Corporate America decides to allow us. Corporations will control our government, which is how we make laws. They will control our one and only Corporate American religion and force us to abide by it's tenets. They will control our military and police forces so that none of us have any chance of overthrowing their coup of our democracy. We, the 99.9% of Americans will become just another resource for Corporate America to utilize. The transition is taking place as we speak but it is happening so fast and comprehensively that most people do not realize what is being done. In fact, people are so unaware of it's happening, that we people are actually helping the transition along. We agree to privatization of all of our governmental services, we agree to no longer making higher education affordable and we agree that social advances in race and gender are antithetical to American idealism. Corporations have so captured our imaginations with the allure of prospective wealth that our greed is fueling their takeover of the democracy our country was founded upon. The time is short in what is left of what America has been and the time is soon for the birth of a Corporate America, answerable only to the Board of Directors and never again to the people they will rule over. I suppose I should just jump on the bandwagon and enjoy what I can of losing of my freedoms and liberty to a profit driven power.
