Rick@rbreich Perhaps, our last opportunity to end the oligarchic rule of multinational corporations was 2009, following the financial meltdown, when Eric Holder could have indicted Wall Street CEOs, like his predecessor did with the CEOs of Enron, WorldCom, Adelphi, Tyco, et al., but chose not to, or Tim Geithner, who could have broken up the "big banks", but declined to do so. From the "audacity of hope", to the "paucity of nope". :(

And the global market and Internet allow this to be a global club of Davos-partying Robber Barons, controlling the world’s media and largely controlling the world’s governments.
