Why indeed?

Almost everyone knows why. Robert Reich’s column. “Whatever happened to Antitrust” tells why.

This article, “Five ways Citizens United has screwed over out democracy.”

It’s a new version of the circle of life.

Greedy corporations and the extremely wealthy want to wrap themselves with all the trappings of control. They funnel huge volumes of cash to the elected public servants and appointed members of the judiciary who purport to serve the interests of citizens. In reality, these politicians just want to stay at the trough and the way to do that is to do the bidding of those who pay for their votes and fealty. These serfs demonstrate their fealty by passing legislation that allows almost the power class with the money almost complete rights to plunder and control economies at their will.

Serfdom … returns in the 21st century.

Here are some recent news snippets tangentially related to the new version circle of life:

• At least these politicos have appreciation for a great entertainer.

• Government grants to insure government cash flows.
