The United States a plutocratic state

[Ri¢h]

Read this article; very interesting. Goes into depth about how corporations have just as much of a right as people and that their wealth is basically their "speech" so the bigger the corporation, the more "speech" it has.

“The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” --Plato, ancient Greek philosopher

“The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy.” --Alex Carey, Australian social scientist

“The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations.” --Noam Chomsky, M.I.T. emeritus Professor of Linguistics
