Response to Jeremy Jordon's Blog

Your question of whether or not a corporate democracy can exist is an intriguing one. In my mind, the answer is a definite no. This question, and the content of your post, raises many interesting points.

Everything is run by money in this country. The banks, politics, the education system, the things the government wants you to be afraid, the list goes on. If something can be made profitable, it will be exploited. This is, of course, the nature of business in a capitalist society. Survival of the fittest and aggressive competition is the name of the game. But has it gone too far?

It has gotten to the point where I wonder who really elects our leaders, the people or the corporations? And on top of that, the government lies to us. The problem is two-fold. One is the government is too big and has been encroaching on individual rights for too long, and corruption is becoming more and more common. Second is that corporations have become too influential. In the end I keep my faith that those who should really be in charge of this country, the people, will sooner or later take a stand and demand transparency and integrity from the government and the corporate giants.
