A great resource of the Multi-National Corporations that own our Government and Politicians. Today, of the 100 largest economies in the World there are more Multi-National Corporations than there are entire Nations. That is a troubling trend and a threat to democracies everywhere.

They profitize our prisons/schools/hospitals, prolong our wars and even want to privatize water rights and social security next....what will be our future?

They don't rule me either-I try to boycott nearly all these Corporations and completely avoid "Too big to fail" banks, but they own and rule our politicians and legislators-which is a major problem.

Does that include the end of borders? Physical borders?

Governments enact and enforce laws, therefore governments rule. The last time I checked, corporations did not enact or enforce laws, so how could they rule? Clearly the OP has watched one too many Captain Planet cartoons.

LOL-it's really shocking how naive people can be.

Watch the cartoon about ALEC in the OP-it's short too.

Well, see, they actually like having their corporate masters in charge. So they have to pretend that they're not to try to keep the sane people from noticing.
