Corporate Oligarchy

We are no longer ruled by Washington. Instead our country, our lives are run by a group of wealthy and exceedingly corrupt business thugs. It happened because starting with Reagan, financial institutions in America were given free reign to solidify their positions, to set policies that allowed loan shark style lending through credit cards, the repackaging of home loans into these ridiculously risky but still, somehow, A1 rated, commodities, the bloating of insurance management into this giant that pays it's widget managers like princes while putting the poor out without medical care...and on and on.

We are fooling ourselves believing we have elected leaders. The real leaders of our country are a pack of rich and exceedingly greedy businessmen and those guys need to go. Their businesses need to be broken down into smaller entities and it needs to happen to nearly every large corporation in this country.

I'm sick of my life being run by a bunch of businessmen.
