By the time I came of age, in the 1960s, Socialism in this country had been defunct for a long time. McCarthyism, and the fear it engendered towards any sort of government that took into account the needs of the poor, had killed it.<br /><br />Benito Mussolini invited the corporations to join with him and his staff to govern Italy. Our corporations were never invited in our out, it simply is a fact of modern life that the only people who can afford to run for government positions on the Federal level are corporate heads and corporate lawyers and - you name it. No one has ever raised the question of conflict of interest, where these men are concerned. <br /><br />So, what do you call a government that is ruled by the major corporations? For that is what we have.Genevievehttp://www.thebestword.netnoreply@blogger.com
