No no no, everyone knows if we give corporations unilateral control of our lives, they will definitely reward us with jobs if we beg hard enough.

We are the government.

I can't vote in a new CEO of Exxon if I disapprove of his super pac laundering or his consistent oil spills.

Educate yourself on economics via something other than Ronald Reagan sound bites.
Actually my huge worry is that they DO know what they are talking about, and they WANT the corporations to rule us all......maybe have a bidding process for the presidency and for various politicol roles. How much for a senator position from Idaho! Lets start the bidding at 1 million! Do I hear two!

I dont think most of them even understand WHY we regulate pollution, they just seem to think it will harm someone else-not them.

You trust corporations more than politicians? That is a bad idea.

But history tells us that almost every monopoly is either created by government or sustained by government or both.

Trust in a politician. Of either side. Yeah. That's funny.... Are you directly out of your f@#$ing mind!? Yeah, that's complete crazy talk. What's that old line about you know a politician is lying if his lips are moving? Yeah....
