Corporatism is bad for this country. As soon as some one says anything against it, you get labeled anti-capitalism. Which in their overly simplistic view of all things is basically anti-American.

Why have your wages gone down year after year? Corporatism.

Why is everything cheap and then needs replaced shortly? Corporatism

Why have your jobs disappeared? Corporatism

Why will your children never come close to the American dream? Corporatism

Why will this country fail to survive in the near future? Corporatism

Why do idiots keep voting for the same people that are slowly taking away their livelihood and prosperity while blaming it on the opposing party? Stupidity, brainwashed politically polarized stupidity.
