    This above link shows how many get away with corruption in this state..and noticeable allowing any one who is incorporated as a business to do what ever they want to its inhabitants of that state,. a further investigation will show that there are ties to NY State and NY City between the 2 states and how deep the corruption goes..in order to oust the corruption we must look at not just a Washington and wall street rhetoric of who is who but also the trail of bread crumbs that lead us around the Destruction of "AMERICA"...

    While I agree with you about this "trail", I would point out that it is a much wider and deeper trail, one that has gone around the world and shown up back here (like "chickens coming home to roost") as for decades we ignored the exploitation and oppression that the "leaders" imposed on the rest of the world (as "imperialism" of "AMERICA") now are imposing on "AMERICA" itself proving that their loyalty all along was not to "AMERICA" rather to PROFIT / CAPITAL itself. As such we have a global systemic economic problem - CAPITALISM. The problem is the same everywhere and it will require the cooperation of people everywhere globally to resolve it.

    One for all, all for one.

    Yes,, and it was looked upon as if it was not our problem and that it is an internal civil war going on over there!! we were mislead misinformed.. we were made to look the other way by a false prosperity of our nation, our leadership has been printing money all this time with no safety net except a debt which we are again being informed is going to be raised above its roof so we can get thru it.. and it is considered a safety net? The lies get worse and are the same lies.

    That is what happens when we accept a "representative government". They do things behind our back, claiming to be experts and know better to protect us against the predators, only to find out they end up being one and the same as the predators.

    The problem is that the "government" can not be independent of the economic system that creates it, the very system that favors the predators at the cost of the prey, the rich vs. the poor, the capitalists vs. the working class. The "government" in this system is necessarily that of the predator capitalists. We could never contain the predators by their rules and their "government".

    We need to "think outside the box" - find and alternative economic system that makes both the concept of "predators" and "government" obsolete and thus also frees us from our status as the "prey".
