49. The Chicken & the Egg: The Corporation and the Culture
I agree with the structual safeguards you propose for public corporations, but I must return to our culture and mindset in America, for these must be realigned in order to have the political power to make these changes.

As such, I feel the root of the problem is not the corporations themselves, but our collective will, which is based upon our true values and convictions.

Again, I feel the problem is that a stinker like George Walker Bush can get 30% of the American electorate right off the top because he can appeal to their narrow-minded viewpoint on sex, marriage, religion, and reproductive rights. As such, he gets many of these people to actually vote against their own interests with regard to issues such as their economic well being.

Until the liberals in this country can break this strangle hold, the Republicans have an easy time to beg, borrow, and steal the remaining 20% they need for victory.
