48. what does the environment have in common with healthcare, the war, energy policy, . ..
Edited on Sun May-24-09 05:44 AM by OneBlueSky
GM foods, banking, and a host of other critical issues facing the nation? . . .

despite campaign rhetoric and protestations to the contrary, policy decisions in each of these areas are STILL being made not by our elected representatives, but by the corporations who profit most when policy decisions not in the public interest are enacted . . .

in most cases, in fact, policies that ARE in the public interest are in direct conflict with policies that benefit the corporations . . . that's because the interests of the general public and those of the corporations are incompatible . . . look at our healthcare system for the most obvious (and most egregious example) . . .
