But in our country there are checks and balances. The separate branches of govt., the power of state govt., and MOST importantly the Free Press and the people themselves (which is what FINALLY prevailed in this situation).
Are you saying that you don't think the govt. is TOO big. And that is "cool" for them to do all these shady and secretive things around the world to people?
I can't understand that line of thinking.
How about some common sense:
Get the federal govt. back under control and SERVING the people instead of RULING the people.
And keep corporations in check so that they are able to make profit, hire people, and make the world go around WITHOUT getting too big and powerful either.
Like most things there is a "sweet spot". The Federal govt. hit that spot about 50 years ago and then kept on growing.
At least the corporations get knocked down when they get too far out of control.
But the Federal Govt.? They make the LAW. And they've actually made laws that damn near make it impossible for citizens to reign them in.
Just think about it for a second without making any "witty" quips or exaggerating points.
The govt. is supposed to SERVE us. Not own us and run every aspect of our lives from cradle to grave.

the corporations with positive tax rates, and getting institutionalized in countries just invaded?
for example.. TEPCO, the japanese electric power company:
' Referring to that same early decision-making sequence, "Michael Friedlander, a former senior operator at a Pennsylvania power plant with General Electric reactors similar to the troubled ones in Japan, said the crucial question is whether
Japanese officials followed G.E.?s emergency operating procedures'
the 'too big to fail' companies.. right?
