5. When I consider the ENORMOUS profits ...
... being made by petrochemical companies, energy companies, defense contractors, health care corporations, and a host of other global corporations (INCLUDING financial), and when I consider the gutting of bankruptcy protection, labor protections, privacy protections, medical safeguards, tort protections, and tax equity (ALL OF WHICH serves the wealthy and powerful) ... I'd hardly call it "keystone kopping."

Global corporatism (and those who profit from human misery and conflict) has made more gains in the last five years than at any time in history. It will take decades to return to any semblance of economic and political justice and equity, under the BEST of conditions.
