You bet. Some people see it very clearly.
Contemplate This!
Total value of the 10,149 U.S companies acquired since 2001 by foreign interests: $1,480,000,000,000.00 That would be another 1.5 trillion dollars in foreign owned US corporations that the Supreme Court recently gave personhood to in the worst decision ever.
We have now witnessed the selling of our elected officials allegiance to foreigners rather than that totally outdated and disenfranchised loser group know as "We, The People". We continue to install that idiotic fence to keep Mexicans out of our asparagus fields... Where's the border fence that's going to keep the People's Republic of China out of our elections?
That's from White's Creek.
I'd only argue that China is the least of it. Oh, and even if Elena Kagan is a secret agent from the US Chamber of Commerce, that doesn't get to the real problem.
The worst problem is that too many voters don't vote, that many who do vote for the status quo ante. After all, corporate power has been around for over a century. By now, most of America has corporate tentacles wrapped around every part of their lives. Anyway, there's nothing difficult about casting a vote out of beloved old "safe" ignorance and disenfranchising yourself.
By the way, the root of the word "franchise" is "freedom."
