"corporate elite" They're the people who give people jobs, consumer goods, and homes, who the "media elite" and left wing spend a substantial amount of time attempting to discredit.

moenmac, I believe the best way for you to learn about the "corporate elites" would be to read a book by William Greider called "One World: Ready or Not". It is the best explanation of the potential impacts upon American workers and American communities with the efforts being made by single minded corporate leadership to globalize commerce. It is a chilling description of the race to bottom for wage earners in OECD countries, and the generally amoral tone of the future world of greater and greater social inequality that is part and parcel of the agenda of the, umm, for lack of a better term, corporate elites. These would be the fellows (almost exclusively males) who were compensated at a rate of 40x the average wage in a corporatate worker bee in 1980, and over 500x the average wage in the year 2000.
