Koan,

What you are saying is that you prefer corporate control over democracy. They have a word for that type of government. It is called fascism.

<<What I prefer is more freedom. Government's primary job is to secure the rights and freedoms of its citizens.>>

And what I keep trying to explain to you is the best way the human species has ever found to get that freedom is through democracy. Control of society by the people and for the people.

<<"Corporate control" is a myth. All you do is utter it like a slogan without elaborating on the details. That way you can argue for more more more government without getting questioned on anything.>>

A myth, are you kidding. Power and money have always controlled societies absent democracy. The plutocrats in this country have bought our congress and spend billions on propaganda.

Facts: Too big to fail and too big to jail. All of the money since 08 has gone to the top 1%. And while the rich get richer the poor get poorer. Look at the massive fraud the banks engaged in and no one has been prosecuted.

<<If anyone's ideas are going to lead to a fascism, it's yours.>>

How is that I am an advocate for democracy? YOu are the one who touts corporate control.
