America is an enigma, shrouded in a mystery, and wrapped in a tortilla. We insist on democracy, personal freedom and freedom from intrusive government while we grant our unelected business and commercial leaders despotic control over almost every aspect of our lives. Businesses are free to hire or fire us at will, poison our food supply, air and water, deny food and drink to the starving and thirsty, deny us medical care, and generally dump on us at their pleasure. Business now is taking control over our borders, importing docile foreign workers from abroad, and is taking over our jails and prisons and making big bucks by incarcerating Americans. We pride ourselves on our freedoms yet we sell them off on the cheap to unscrupulous business people who profit handsomely from our stupidity. While the Republicans are the official party of stupid, our whole country is falling off of the top of the stupid tree and we are crashing into every branch on the way down. We cannot trust our large corporations to look after us; we must do that ourselves.
