The end of the Republic. The rise of the Plutocracy.

Buddy Roemer has suspended his campaign.
Americans Elect is a failure.
Wisconsin fell to $23M in big special interest money.

It'll be a lesser of two evils vote between Obama and Romney. Who will win will be the one who spends enough money on the biggest lies. The only other 50 state candidate, Libertarian Gary Johnson, cannot get media access because the Democrats and Republicans wrote a 15% poll rule, effectively destroying our Constitutional right to choose our leaders.

We're a Plutocracy. The Republic is all but dead.  Our politics are a Plutocracy, our economics are a Corportacracy.

Why do corporate execs like China?
Slave workers.
Slave wages.
Slave hours.
Child labor.
No safety for workers.
No benefits.
No environmental controls.
No unions.
No bargaining.

What do corporate execs want in the USA?
Slave workers (depress the economy).
Slave wages (force lower wages by outsourcing or part time status).
Slave hours (exemption).
Child Labor (See Newt Gingrich)
No safety for workers (deregulate business).
No benefits (corporate healthcare and retirement).
No environmental controls (deregulate business).
No unions (broken in Wisconsin and other states).
No bargaining (see Wisconsin).

Once corporations make the United States of China they will not have to worry about an unstable government because they own this one. They will not have to worry about import duties, tax legislation, etc. as they own the lawmakers.

The only thing corporations don't yet own are the people. But the people's own apathy and constant voting for the lesser of two evils will resolve that for them. History has shown this happen before, it has pointed to it happening again and again. But we never learn from history.

An excellent commentary by Bill Moyers. A brilliant man who summed it up completely two years ago. Some people see our downfall before us, but how do we stop it before it destroys us?
