Corporations rule America

Corporations rule America
From health care to what food we eat, what color/style clothes we wear, what books, music, entertainment we are allowed to enjoy, so on and so forth we no longer have a choice. Multinational corporations have decided for us. Don’t delude yourself it has nothing to do with what we want or what is good for us, it is all about what makes them the largest profit.
Look at prescription medications, why are they allowed to advertise? I thought you went to a doctor to be diagnosed and treated. Now it appears corporations want you to walk in and demand the medication you want. The fact it is not correct or even necessary doesn’t matter some talking head puppet on the string of a corporation in a TV ad told you that you need it. So you demand it, they get rich and laugh at your stupidity.
Take a real look at fashion. Isn’t a lot of it really ugly, unflattering? Then why do people buy and wear it? Again we are subjected to brainwashing by corporations. They put talking heads in these hideous outfits on TV, have another talking head a so called fashion expert extol their beauty and virtues and the brain washed rush to buy them. After one wearing they usually end up rotting in a closet. Though years later if any photos were taken of people wearing it becomes a source of amusement.
Vehicles are the same. They tell us what we want same as everything else.
Why? Profit. That is the only reason. The corporations have designed their products to be made in a manner that guarantees them the highest possible profit. Consumer desires, comforts, needs do not count. Only how much money they can make.
Think I’m wrong? Look at the salaries, bonuses and perks CEOs and senior executives receive. Most of them well into the tens of millions each. Then remember that for them to get that money, all the parts, equipment, employees, buildings, stockholders and whatever else it take to manufacture that product and get it into the hands of the consumer has to be paid for. The rest is their play money. Anyone but me see this as price gouging?
This is where this economic crisis came from. Pure greed, anyone one of those CEOs could have scaled back their bonuses lowered the prices of their goods and kept people employed but they don’t care about people only themselves.
So next time some talking head tries to sell you something, think do I need it, is it what I really want or am I just being brainwashed into buying something to make a CEO super rich? Then make your decision.
