"I look upon the American economy as a corporate dictatorship." It's fascism Len. American style, but just Mussolini's "Corporatism" brought up to date. We fought the fascists, but the fascists won! The only reason we're not all serfs is that no ONE consortium of corporations has managed to get permanent control. The current government is a wholly owned subsidiary of the oily and military-industiral crowd. The Dem government that takes it's place will also be controlled by the miltary-industrial crowd, but someone else with take the place of the oily guys. The one group that carries over no matter who is in charge is the military-industrial guys. That's why we spend 10 times more on "defence" than any other country on earth. Only 17% of Americans work directly for a corporation. Yet, due to their great wealth and influence, they have inordinate power.

The American people have come to define themselves by what corporation they work for and what consumer item (obviously displayed by a logo) they own. Are Americans aware of this development, or are they unknowing sheep following their corporate masters? LOL. This type of post describing the poster's view of what other people think and feel is usually wrong, of course. Why don't you tell us how you have come to define yourself, and let the American people speak for themselves. Most Americans don't work for a corporation, by the way.
