Really? So allowing financial decline to occur places the well-heeled in a position to exploit the plight of the masses? (LET IT FAIL!) Couple this with the constant barrage of silly diversionary tactics, such as "Rescuing American Families" or "Preserving Marriage" for instance, and you have the recipe for establishing unhindered top down rule?

I wholeheartedly agree.

The Corporatocracy never did like having to answer to anyone. Still doesn't.
