Poll question: What kind of government do you think we now have here in the US?..... |
|
In other words what kind of government system do you think the US most closely resembles in this day and age?...

8. Plutocracy. These people don't care about the corporation |
|
it is merely a tax sheltered way to enrich the individuals involved.
Reference Ken Lewis being given $125mm for running BoA into the ground and losing share price for his shareholders.
They just hide behind the corporation.

I BELIEVE we live in a "sooner-or-later-the-american-people-are-going-to-get-sick-of-this-shit-and-rise-up-and-kick-some-ass-ocracy.
I mean I am so angry I am ready to get in the car and drive to NY and bash Glen Becks head in with a Easton Softball bat. However, I live in Florida and that's a LONG ass drive.
West Palm Beach is a lot closer. I hear some fat draft dodging drug addict pedophile M'effer lives down there. Any ideas?
JUST KIDDING... SEE!
:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:
I'm still pissed off.
Kind of.
Well not anymore, too much football on TV. :beer:

One that is incapable of simultaneously serving the interests of the majority and of the individuals in the society. What is good for the many quite often does not serve everyone - and vice versa. Take away a sense of community and mutual committment and add selfishness, greed and a quest for position and power and you are guaranteed to have a failed government.

As Mussolini coined the term, it meant government run by corporations.
That is exactly what we have.
No guesswork there.
