Capitalism has bought our government from us...
...and Capitalism is not loyal to any one country.
It goes where the profits can be made and changes laws and regs that get in it's way.

"Main Street" is boarded up. It's over. "Mom and Pop" shops done.
You need to go down the street to Wal-Mart now.

the defective, overpriced goods and services they sold to us and what they stole from our Treasury.

4. It Isn't Captalism Anymore When Robber Barons Buy the Government
There is another word for that form of government. It begins with an "F".

5. When did our government ever belong to us?
When only propertied white males could vote? When it was sending in the army to shoot down striking workers?

Things haven't only gotten bad recently...
