CEO: "Trump is bringing in the best people to run our company"...WTF? "Our Company"???



Lee Camp caught Robert Murray, head of Murray Energy, telling a truth most activists have been screaming for some time now. The plutocrats are not only in power behind the scene; they are now at the helm of our government.

Camp played a Fox Business clip where Robert Murray appeared as the guest to defend Trump’s choice of Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State. The host pointed out that Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and Former Secretary of State James Baker support Tillerson and should carry a lot of weight.

“Yes,” Lee Camp said. “Look at these war criminals who support Tillerson. Doesn’t that mean something? It’s almost as if these slimeballs think the United States of America is a company and not a country; that it’s prime goal is profit, not the bettering of the lives of people, of our citizens. Come on Robert Murray, put my mind at ease that this is about the country, the people, us.”

Camp then played a clip that said it all:


"Trump is bringing in the best people to run our company,"
Camp screamed. "Our company? It is supposed to be a country. .. These people, the parasitic business class of billionaire exploitation vampires have taken over. And it is evident they view this country, our country, as a company in which their task is to enrich themselves. The hostile corporate takeover is complete. ... And what is a hostile takeover called when it is a country and not a company? It is a coup. ... And don't worry, I am not just laying this on the Republicans. The corporate Democrats are equally responsible. They just weren't as obvious with it, weren't as upfront about it. And this is one of the many reasons we have to keep fighting."

this is a corporation now and that is how they must be dealt with - money is everything, people are just an expense unless they are of the billionaire class, and the military is there to preserve that flow of money.
Lawsuits - one after another is the only way to stop or slow this train wreck.
