Naomi Kline of The Nation lets it all loose with this steaming pile
But the zealots in Bush's White House are neither insane nor stupid nor particularly shady. Rather, they openly serve the interests of the corporations that put them in office with bloody-minded efficiency. Their boldness stems not from the fact that they are a new breed of zealot but that the old breed finds itself in a newly unconstrained political climate.
Why is it always those faceless, souless corporations when it comes to Republicans, but when many on the left talk about Soros or Heinz-French's-Del Monte-Kerry that little niggling fact is never mentioned? Soros and Heinz-Kerry both made their money from those same evil corporations that so many like to bemoan.
I personally have 100% ownership of a corporation. I am the sole shareholder for my company. I am not nameless or faceless. I do not have a heart of evil. And if you want to say "Well, it's big corporations" then please define big. Use concrete terms such as numbers of employees, shareholders, etc. Do not use vague terms such as 'many' or 'large'.
If it weren't for evil corporations, you wouldn't be reading this on your computer right now. You wouldn't have a television or be able to watch a movie. Air conditioning? Fughettabout it.
Or did I miss the part of my incorporation papers that gave the devil majority shareholder status of my soul?
