Never. Too old for that.Of course government is the problem, but big corporations and big government have become one. We live in a oligarchic soft Fascist State. So condemning government is fine, but only one aspect of the problem.And if you stop being a party cheerleader, you can hold them accountable by voting them out....if you support candidates who actually support getting money out of politics, who actually support regulation against big pharma, big banks, big oil -- then come talk to me...Those corporations are the Deep State...…
Did you vote any of those corporations into power?? Nope....so why should they be able to write policies for us? Because that is exactly what they do now....
I can not go to Target if I don't like target. I can not go to Mobil if i don't like Mobil. I can use Spectrum if I don't like Verizon.
Government I am stuck with.
It amazing how much power fools like you want in something that is becoming more and more unaccountable to the people it serves.
Right now, your apathy tells me you are A-OK with corporations writing our laws...
You elected them to write new laws. They’re letting corporations do it instead. – Center for Public Integrity
I live in a Democratic Controlled NYC. I vote Republican all the time. i am stuck with Dems because people accept the bullshit and chickenshit to get a few things they want.
At the federal level it is even worse because voting in someone who agrees with me will do NOTHING to remove the bloated federal bureaucracy that makes most of the boots on the ground rules I have issues with.
But keep railing against corporations, you blind moron. My sig covers my view on who the real enemy is.
And I would hope regulators would consult with the companies they are regulating. Should they rely on people who want to destroy said industries for all regulatory language and advice?
So when are you running out and manning the barricades?
I do prefer the truth, even though it is most unsettling.
If I were king, I’d put an end to big government entirely. This would also have the beneficial effect of eliminating the enormous political power big corporations have attained.
