i agree somewhat with you, mega corporations need to be put in there place. however most corporations are just trying to be profitable and survive despite the obstacles our government places in there way. obstacles place there by big corporate lobbying to stunt their competitors. Great Grandfather Rockefeller was an expert at doing this in the oil business.

CON-vincing people to give-up/destroy contributory social programs ... rather than modify them. Epitome of voting against your best interests !

Because Republican presidents have –‘overwhelmingly bankrupted the country’– and effectively blamed the Democrats !

By legalizing propaganda [vetoing the Fairness Doctrine] and manipulating the media !

... “-propaganda effect’- ... not to use or pronounce the words –‘Democracy or Democratic Party’- in the traditional way !

Democracy is a political form of government in which governing power is derived from the people, either by direct referendum (direct democracy) or by means of elected representatives of the people (representative democracy).

Montesquieu included both democracies, where all the people have a share in rule, and aristocracies or oligarchies, where –‘only some of the people rule’-, as republican forms of government.

@NOBS4321 Um, no he didn't. Be careful to make conclusions that do not exist. He defined our system of government as a Constitutional Republic... that is it... and in Federalist Paper #10, he was comparing our Republic to a Democracy, but not claiming our Republic was any form of Democracy... including a Representative Democracy... we are NOT! We are a Republic and a Republic only! We only vote for representatives, but that does not make us a democracy.

@NOBS4321 A democracy is majority rule, or in other words, the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group. There is no other definition out there that is honest... the rest of the definitions are designed to fool people into thinking we're a democracy... they are propaganda and a tool of war.... fall for them at your own peril.

Sir, I am not an american. We in India have seen America directly through its business corporations. American businessmen command a lot of respect worldwide and most certainly in USA too. US Corporates lobby with almost every Goverment. How is it that they are losing respect of true Americans? Are they working against US interests. Are individual and corporate interests in USA at odds? I am curious. In my heart of hearts however, I feel you are correct.

@virn11 Welcome to my videos... I lived in Pune for almost a year back in 1980. I hear it has really changed... back then, it was pretty dirty and surrounded by sugar cane and corn fields. I welcome anyone to be my allie who would fight for individual Liberty and Freedom. This fight is world wide and we need people from all over to engage in the struggle.
