Reply #88: I think you're missing my point. I'm not concerned with money going [View All]

to employees who then donate to one part or the other. I'm worried about corporations getting powerful and regardless of what their employees think about one party or the other, the corporation uses its cultural and economic power to create political power.

Institutionally, I don't think you can deny, big media throws its cultural and political weight behind Republicans so they can get their easy monopoloy profits.

Where do they get that power? Largely from people paying uncompetitve rates for their products.

You want to reduce their power? Cancel your cable. If enough people do, maybe they'll start to competitively price, which will mean they'll have to focus on their business and not on buying themsleves friendly legislation. Maybe reducing their power will mean other competitors can enter the market. Maybe if they get very worried, they'll start programming things people want to see (ie, information and entertainment, rather than fascist pro-consumption, anti-knowledge propaganda).

I don't know how I can make this point any clearer.

And in fact, I think the people responding to my posts negatively actually understand my point which is why they're so intent on characterizing it as something else.
