The New Monarchy

Corporate Personhood Allows Corporations to Rule Over Democracy as Virtual Monarchs | BuzzFlash.org

The Robber Barons of the 1800's have been replaced by the Wall Street high rollers and the multi-national corporations. As Thom Hartman via Mr. Karlin notes:

...the largest transnational corporations fill a role today that has historically been filled by kings. They control most of the world's wealth and exert power over the lives of most of the world's citizens. Their CEOs are unapproachable and live lives of nearly unimaginable wealth and luxury.

This from Mr. Karlin,

Was the American Revolution fought so that the corporations could reign over democracy as monarchs?

So this is what we have on 1/1/11. A new monarchy, fueled by blood oil, supported by a political establishment for the benefit of the few.

Got some work to do.

Happy New Year...
