Why corporate America is suffocating Americans...

        The simple answer to that is "Because we let it!"  That's right, I'm blaming Americans for the mess we're in.  We have lost our sense of community and allowed ourselves to be trained for total dependence on the government to solve all of our problems.  In the old days, when people had REAL social interaction, and actually CARED about things, they got together and DID something about it.  Strikes, sit-ins, demonstrations...these are how we used to express our dissatisfaction with the way we were being treated.  Now we sit down and write our Congressmen (and women).  That's great that you want your representative to know what's going on, but our government wasn't designed to get you out of your house payment because you weren't thorough enough in reading the mortgage before signing it.  It wasn't designed to prevent your bank from charging you overdraft fees when you spent money you didn't have.  Our capitalist system, the one liberals bemoan for being so bloated and for having too much control over the government was designed to respond to the demands of the consumers.  NEWSFLASH!  We created this situation when we made it a habit of turning to the government to regulate the economy.

        So what is the solution?  In this day and age, with people lacking that strong personal interconnection that used to be a basic component of American communities, it's hard to start a movement.  It's even harder to make people aware of the movement.  The days of strikes and demonstrations may be over, but we have entered the age of E-Revolution.  Over the next few weeks I will be writing a series of articles proposing an effective alternative to handing control of our economy over to the government.  Please stay tuned, and whether you're a conservative or liberal, libertarian or Republican, you will be impressed and excited about a system I propose that will allow the American PEOPLE to regain control of this country and create our OWN destinies, without relying upon the government to clean up our messes.
