corporations are in control of large portions of the economy. the economy can be dependent on or affected by politics or nations. huge corps have a vested interest in controlling national politics.

there are only perhaps 7 chief companies that control about 90% of the world market. they own other smaller corps that show their names to consumers, giving the illusion of competition and many sources of products and power.

big oil/energy [enron, exxon, halliburton], big auto [& GE, GM], big pharm, war industries, big finance, these corporations all care more about making a buck than they care about you or the environment [be it economic or natural] that we all live in.

corporations are standing behind puppet governments. the corporation really owns the area and the economy in it. through that economy they can force political moves to enrich themselves.

Bob- Cite sources, expand your point, don't infer conclusions, and capitalize letters (pet peeve) Preferabbly sooner then later, or else I'll have to butterface it.

i use a special grammer. sorry for any inconvenience. i also like to cite 'common knowledge'. i must infer what the politicians and megarich are thinking because it's black op. much is unpublished.

Free Trade Zones, FTZ's, are areas of land bought by corporations in the 3rd world, where the government agrees to not regulate trade. laissez-faire zones, where the corporations run sweatshops and hold people down in the mud of poverty, all in the name of reducing their labor costs while charging the same price.

"these corporations all care more about making a buck than they care about you or the environment [be it economic or natural] that we all live in."

-that is simply true.

"there are only perhaps 7 chief companies that control about 90% of the world market. they own other smaller corps that show their names to consumers, giving the illusion of competition and many sources of products and power."

-i am not sure if the number is 7 or 5 or 8, but it is small and has been shrinking rapidly over the past few decades. we are reaching critical corporate mass.

"huge corps have a vested interest in controlling national politics."

-sovereignty is teetering between corporation and nation. that is demonstrated by the acts of world trade agreements. one that was narrowly rejected would have made corporations no longer need to answer to nations. that would have enorumously bad effects for labor and the environment. economy must be organized and controlled.

corps in america, canada, and mexico, already don't have to obey foreign corporate laws. that has made governments and cities unable to sue for environmental damage, or make them pay to cover the cost of a company stopping the distribution and use of their illegally polluting product.

corps would make nations pay for the money a corp loses when it stops making a harmful product. i have never heard of such an arrogant and anti-human insult. i should make them pay for the ammo i will spend assaulting their compounds.
