I guess we have a bit of a difference here the since we have ...


the corporations trying to control the government and the rest of society. The GOP has been a willing accomplice to those who would reduce protections for the environment and the individual in the name of "more jobs!" Perfect example - the hoodwinking of the people in WV and elsewhere that if the EPA lets the coal companies pollute the streams more, they'll hire more miners. The Dems have been pretty loose with the tech companies and didn't crack down on the privacy issues and, probably, encryption, plus they should have really set some prohibitive restrictions or an outright ban on just about every Wall St. derivative (when I gamble I go to a casino; they give you free drinks while you risk your money).

So, corporations are becoming the government in capitalism run amok. What should we call that?
