The Corporations are Running the Show

[Keith Broaders]

If Walmart announced plans to hire an army of mercenaries to invade a third world country in order to corner the market on their natural resources, would you be willing to help them financially?

Just like Walmart, the government of the United States is a corporation and is out to make a profit for its stockholders. Congress has been borrowing trillions of dollars to fund wars of aggression while expecting the tax payers to pick up the tab.

Would you donate money to help Goldman Sachs exploit third world countries? The taxes collected by the fraudulent corporation known as the UNITED STATES are simply fees for services rendered. They are nothing more than a protection racket which extorts trillions of dollars every year from the people who remain sound asleep.

Your tax dollars are being used to kill innocent men, women and children in order to make the world safe for an overblown sense of democracy. If you believe this nonsense your brain is as functional as a crowbar. A legitimate government derives its power from "the consent of the governed." The people not only have a right to give their consent, but also have the authority to withdraw it.

As for me, I think the time has come to end the madness and return to the principles upon which this nation was founded.
