The abiding fear the American State is possessed of is: 'capital flight,' i.e., that captains of industry will take their investment dollars abroad. That's right--they would--and do--place capital in overseas markets. Said another way: the U.S. capitalist is America's own whore, i.e., he is 'loyal' or 'faithful,' but only to the highest bidder. Irony of ironies, the true Americans are the working class--and they are the ones who are consistently fucked--by the State, by capitalists, etc.

What guidelines does corporate America use to establish prices: "Whatever the market [i.e., us] will bear." (that word "bear": not unlike the Christ bearing up under His cross). Corporate America, in fact, is the 'cross' of the laboring class (they don't refer to it as 'predatory capitalism' for nought).

Fr. Daniel Berrigan wrote, of the Catonsville incident: "Our apologies, good friends, for the fracture of good order, the burning of paper instead of children. . . ."
Daniel Berrigan is the person I point to when the tea party reich-wingers claim that they're "real Christians."
