Our
public servants are making decisions for the benefit of their privately owned
corporations at the expense of the business of the US government. You cannot work for the government and work
for a corporation and not be subject to a profound conflict of interest. I think so many people, of varied political
persuasion, have come to believe that it would be best for the country if the
government were run like a business. It
is part of the reason that the influx of corporate leaders into the House and
Senate has been so widely accepted and approved of in the form of the popular
vote. I think if we lived in a state of
isolated utopia, the model of government as corporation might possibly
work. However, the very capitalist
system that, in the process of its evolution, creates the logical merging of
capital and capitol thus brings about both the downfall of the system of
governance as well as the ideology of capitalism.
