In the case of corps like Monsanto, govt is invested heavily in those corporate shares via their investment funds. In fact most if not all publicly traded corps largest shares are from municipal corps. Just need to follow the money trail and look at the accounting.
I don't recall advocating for more government. However, less or more has nothing to do with it, other than scale. This is perfectly legal. Municipal corps invest in transnationals. They are not required to share the investment returns with taxpayers either. This has more to do with accounting standards than the size of govt.
For years now, the most-asked question by detractors of the good food movement has been, "Can organic agriculture feed the world?" According to a new United Nations report, the answer is a big, fat yes.
The report, Agro-ecology and the Right to Food, released yesterday, reveals that small-scale sustainable farming would even double food production within five to 10 years in places where most hungry people on the planet live.
"We won't solve hunger and stop climate change with industrial farming on large plantations," Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food and author of the report, said in a press release. "The solution lies in supporting small-scale farmers' knowledge and experimentation, and in raising incomes of smallholders so as to contribute to rural development."
I have saved a lot of money thanks to multinational corporations. Heck, I even work for one. Much of my 401K is invested in them. They are great. Now they are making it possible to increase harvests to feed the world's poorest people. God bless them.
World's Poorest People?
Sorry, not buying the Corporate Propaganda. That Propaganda line is like saying we went into Iraq to spread "Freedom and Democracy"
They are not doing anyone any favors but increasing their profits and bottom line however they can do it and using propaganda while they are it.
If they could feed Soylent Green to the world's people and make a profit, they would do it.
In ten years time, when there are still poor and starving people abroad you will be tooting the same propaganda horn to increase your dividends per share and throwing out the usual, if you don't work, you don't eat dribble.
How do you propose a sand dweller to pay off the corporations? They won't and the same story will continue.
Sure, Lets go all Free Market Whogo if you want. I am with you.
Here is my proposal:
1) Let every citizen be responsible for themselves and arm themselves accordingly.
2) No military to REGULATE the Global Free Markets put forth by Government Interference
3) No Police to REGULATE the citizens by government interference since everyone will be armed.
4) Lawyers and Litigation will be a thing of the past.
5) When a person devises a plan to rob a bank and the owner catches him in the act, he can execute him.
6) When Bankers devise a plan to rob millions via complex instruments and sophistry, millions of citizens can storm his office and have his head. No Government Politicians to protect them.
How do you think the Top Dogs on Wall Street would have fared if it had not been for the bought and paid for government?
You have it all Backwards. The Government is the one enriching the top elites at the nations expense.
The Left relies on scare tactics to promote their agenda.
It's interesting that when it comes to religion and science, they ridicule religion and push science as God. When it comes to science in agriculture, they malign science and scientists.
There has been no evidence that science used to produce more and better quality crops has been harmful to human health. In fact, we are living longer, and eating better than generations past.
Oh noes there goes Tokyo's!!!
how's this for genetic modification. When it gets this bad I might worry about it!
Tastes like Fukushima chicken...
