Ending Corporate Governance

We The People
Revoking Our Plutocracy
Nowadays, although more and more of us understand the fact that we live, not
in a democratic republic (as we were taught in school), but under a
plutocracy, most still suffer from what Richard Grossman and Ward Morehouse
call the "colonization of our minds[1], [2]", the corollary of which is the
"TINA" (There Is No Alternative) phenomenon. The fact is, there are
alternatives to this evermore distintegrative "way of life". But in order to
change this society so the seventh generation yet unborn may, once more,
have the opportunity to live their lives to the fullest, each one of us must
transform our own conditioned thinking from that of programmed consumer into
liberated citizen.
Today, people forget that U.S. corporations, or "corpses", as this ratitor
thinks of them, were extremely limited in their powers and influence prior
to the Civil War. We have much to re-learn regarding the facts of how
citizens, at the time of the revolution of 1776 and afterwards, gave state
legislatures the power to control the "crown corporations" they had had
painful, personal experience of and suffered under, from the likes of the
original American "Crown Colonys" -- which were companys -- of the King of
England, as well as the Hudson's Bay Company and the East India Trading
companies of Europe.

How the System Works (or doesn't work) and What to Do About It
Of the world's 100 largest economies, 51 are now global corporations.
The richest 1 percent of Americans own 40 percent of all U.S. assets.
The combined assets of 358 billionaires equal the combined assets of almost
half the world's population.
The courts have given corporations the basic Constitutional rights of
persons, but workers lose those rights on entering the workplace.
The corporate share of taxes paid has fallen from 33 percent in the 1940's
to 15 percent in the 1990's. Individuals' share of taxes has risen from 44
to 73 percent.
The new World Trade Organization effectively gives corporations veto power
over our U.S. environmental and labor laws, weakening your right to protect
ourselves and our land by our legislation.
If this bothers you, read on and then do something about it.
