That article makes it clear that the energy industry bought our government in 2000 and 2004. America has become a government by, of and for corporations. It's just become a question of which corporations have the upper hand. With Bush/Cheney, it's the energy companies. It's not just chance that had Bush invade Iraq, and that has oil going from $20 to $70 a barrel in five years. The most insane thing is that, besides enriching the energy companies, we're also enriching the Arab oil producers, Iran and Russia.
