Some folks find politics distasteful, and dirty so they don’t want anything to do with it. But know this; If you don’t have a seat at the table . . . .then you are on the menu. “ If you don’t want to engage in politics, you will find yourself ruled by people inferior to you”, said Socrates. Matthew Desmond, in his brilliant book titled “Poverty by America”, found on Amazon, reminds us that when President Johnson shepherded the “ Great Society” programs that passed transformational legislation outlawing racial discrimination, expanding access to health care (medicaid), food, and education and pushing the poverty rate down, Washington was just as polarized and broken as it is today. And Johnson pushed these programs only because a mass movement demanded their existence. People operating behind the corporate veil who commit crimes against people and planet in the blind pursuit of profits by any means necessary rarely ever get prosecuted and punished. The stories in this eBook will layout some of the shameful actions of these giant corporations. But these stories represent only a small sliver of the constant criminal behavior carried out when corporations capture and control the people’s governments, Federal, State and Local.
