Influence of Wealth
27 November 2019
Corporate Coup d'Etat defined as, "sudden, illegal takeover of government by a small group." Trump, "I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States." Does faithfully translate to give CEOs, corporations, Wall Street tax cuts? Who was the first to propose corporatism? Surprisingly, Mussolini. 2010 Supreme Court ruling overturned centuries of campaign finance laws that restricted specific financial support of a specific candidate. The ruling said, in effect, that a corporation has the same 1st Amendment political speech rights as an individual. Well, that's a level playing field! Trump supporter asked about Trump's sexual relations. He said, it took place in the privacy of his home before being elected. Which, in effect, is saying 20+ improper (to say the least) encounters, many during his three marriages, do not count toward a person's character. Or, Trump's statement, as a celebrity he "can do anything" to a women. I had plantar fasciitis spurs in both feet; only was a bother for 20 minutes after waking up for the few months it took to resolve itself during which time I was able to run 5 miles; play hours of bball every day - no problem. For the same common ailment he got his family doctor to get him two excuses from serving in the military during the Vietnam war. That's called the wealth privilege.
