Add in the greed factor, and you've got it. Starting with the corporate prisons, and you have to wonder why more corporate leaders aren't in them. Next comes law enforcement,and the funds they receive. This includes everything from the meter maid to the prosecutors, and up.
Legislators? Why do you think corporate America supports them? Super PACs, and the like have their own agenda, which is to control the masses, and our elected officials are merely their puppets.
