Corporatocracy now law, Obama is ‘Agnostic’ about higher taxes
by Michael Robin Cooke on Feb.11, 2010, under Kitschchaos
The recent Supreme Court ruling that eliminates limits on corprorate political spending , some have argued this will have a terrible impact on government, other’s have argued it’s Free Speech and all good, some have argued it will have no impact on government at all.
The Democrats have been trying to create a ‘fix’ before Novenber elections. What I don’t understand is why the effort isn’t bi-partisan. What defines fascism (Italian Fascism under Mussolini) is exactly Corporate influence in government.
But now it seems clear the Supreme Court ruling is impacting the behavior of President Obama. Until this week, President and candidate Obama has been very clear and consistent that he meant to raise taxes on the most wealthy citizens, represented by the investment class, owners of Corporate Stock.
Following this Supreme Court Ruling, what is the best way NOW, to manage public relations as president? Appease that investment class, if the President does NOT they can force their corporations to spend limitless money to fight the election of Democrats.
What can WE do? As citizens we are consumers, Corporations can be beholden to US. What does a corporation NOT want to do? Alienate their customers!
But if Corporations are going to spend money to influence OUR government – we can demand corporations not have it both ways! If a corporation is supporting Repubican candidates: that corporation is ANTI GAY, ANTI-ABORTION, ANTI IMMIGRANT…etc. Every divisive political bias of a candidate supported, can be projected upon the corporation spending the money.
So we can let people know, I don’t buy that brand of toilet paper ’cause it’s anti Gay, I don’t buy that gasoline ’cause they are baby killers! I wish we could do more, but we CAN do THAT!
What this also means is that as a small business, even a token contribution to a cause or a candidate can be used as a marketing ploy. A business too large can halve it’s customers that way, but if you’re a small business it might help distinguish you, help you offer a unique buying opportunity.

I have myself little economic or political power, and my focus for myself is to find a means to grow in economic power and the focus of this website is to help others do the same.
So this post if mildly off topic. Thinking about global monopolies importing cheap labour in the form of products, and now having the power to influence government with money – makes it more challenging to keep positive and work the law of attraction.

I’m so glad to have found your web page. My pal mentioned it to me before, yet never got around to checking it out until now. I must express, I’m floored. I really enjoyed reading through your posts and will absolutely be back to get more.

Thanks. Understand that the political content on this blog is a function of my being a political animal and very concerned with the world I’m living in and how it’s turning out.
Really, it’s a mistake but I can’t help myself. The purpose of this site is to help anyone to do better with their business and learn how to effectively apply magic to help. I wouldn’t want to turn off someone who could benefit but has political ideas at odds with my own.
