The people who own the controlling interest in the corporations are so much richer than the rest of us that their attitude towards the world and the people who inhabit it is totally different from ours. In the first place they feel entitled to extravagant privileges far greater than those of the common citizen. They feel that it is their right to use us for their own profit and that they have no obligation to give back as much as they get. They recognize no obligation to give adequate compensation to enable those that they exploit to maintain themselves at a decent standard. The owners of the corporations see no reason to grant human rights to those who serve their interests. The owners of the corporations have so little conscience that they are willing to eliminate entire civilizations and lay waste to vast areas and destroy whole ecosystems in the interest of making a profit.
The owners of the corporations see no reason to let us have a say in the way things are done and will do everything they can to keep us from having any say at all. They will do everything they can to maintain complete control. And the Supreme Court has given the owners of the corporations even more power to do just that. It will take either a revolution or a massive grassroots movement to convince those who are supposed to represent us to amend the Constitution to take all private, and corporate, money out of politics to end this economic feudalism.

Well said. I work for a small business owned by a member of the elite. They talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. In this economic down turn, we have eliminated or laid off 1/3 of our work force. Cost cutting measures are necessary, but the callous coldness of it astounds me. Why do WE care and how can they not?? Shelley
