Rose, that's a nice story but as Mao said, power grows out of the barrel of a gun and corporate bosses do NOT arrest the police or government people. It's the reverse.

It's always amusing to see how "Big business" is supposed to rule the world. Did you miss Kenny-boy Lay getting in trouble. Bernie Ebbers, Bernie Schwartz. Anyone falls afoul of the bosses voted in by the mob and it's game over for them. Even POTUS people have to watch their step. Bill Clinton was heading for impeachment.

The mob can any day they like vote for a Libertarian government. They don't because they can use the government to bludge off the talented and energetic producers who fill corporations who produce the actual wealth.

Having been in "corporate boardrooms", and seen lots of corporations up close and personal during my oil selling days, I can tell you they do NOT run the world. They can barely run themselves and often fail to do that.
