>>If all of those conditions represent the current situation in the US, then you're kind of making my point for me, aren't you?.. ;0)<<

if your point is that we are at war only to benefit the oligarchs and that our wars will INCREASE terrorism in the US - then yes, i'm making your point.

>>Right now we're seeing corporations running to the taxpayers for bailouts, but we're not seeing government paying as much attention to making sure their constituents are taken care of.<<

correct.

>>Corporations don't have a vote in Democratic elections. They have rights as legally entities, but nothing like human beings.<<

corporations are ultimately run by people. it is for the benefit of these people.

>>Somehow that realization has been lost in the current political policies.<<

they realize it, they don't care. the people who run the big corporations pay better than the citizens do, so the government mercenaries simply do their bidding. if the people paid better, they'd do our bidding.
