We live in a time where it seems that corporations have more rights, and certainly more social help, than humans do in the United States. While social security, welfare, unemployment benefits, and food stamps do little to actually help the public in need Corporate America is being spoon-fed caviar at the tax payer expense.

Our founders loved capitalism but believed to their core that capitalism had to serve democracy & not the other way around.
