Do we really have a government?

Or are 90% of those in Congress just corporate spokespersons?

3. The Chamber of Commerce has a government.
Socialism for the wealthy, capitalism for the little guy.

4. It's a Corporate Republic.
It's no longer just a form of government you can pick in the strategy game "Civilization: Call to Power" anymore...

8. We have the best government that corporations and very well off
individuals can buy.

Do the peasants such as myself have a truly representative group of leaders that consider our needs and the world's needs, uh...NO!
