Are we witnessing the collapse of what was once referred to as the bed of democracy? While we see the spread of democracy and freedom across regions that had formerly been under strict dictatorships for decades, here in our own country we are seeing the rise of corporate governance.
It is a sad state of affairs when those with the most money are allowed to override the true sovereign rule of the people. A majority of the people rule ...... not those with the majority of the money. That was how government was set up by the founders.
Contrary to what many think, the founders did not trust corporations and fought to free this nation from their grip. Today we see a party which mistakenly took the name given to a band of citizens who acted to overthrow the heavy hand of corporations. Now, however, they have turned, and are not only supported by them but also do their bidding. That party has disgraced the founders by supporting the enemies of freedom loving people.
I know their argument is that the corporations that existed during the time of the founders were not the same as today's corporations. Turns out this is untrue. One of those same corporations still exists today.
The Hudson Bay company was incorporated by English royal charter in 1670 as The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England, trading into Hudson's Bay and functioning as the de facto government in parts of North America before European states, and later the United States, laid claim to those territories.
So yes ..... there were corporations. The only difference is that when they ruled they told the citizens where they could sell their goods and produce and conscribed men to serve in a militia or in the merchant marines. They wrote the laws the governors enforced, something like ALEC does today.
As citizens with Constitutional sovereignty why are we tolerating this travesty? We should be removing the charters of any corporations that engage in this type of behavior as they are betraying this nation.
