The Theft of Democracy
Corpocracy: 1a: government by the power of the corporations; b: a government in which the supreme power is vested in corporations and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of cronyism and under the table payoff's: c: Corporations who support America by buying Congressman and Presidents.
Thank you for visiting TheCorpocracy.com. I came up with the word Corpocracy by piggy backing corporation onto democracy. After all, this is exactly what we live in now. We no longer live in the democracy our Founding Fathers had in mind.

The purpose of this site is to raise your awareness and cause you to think and contemplate the state of our nation in hopes all citizens of the United States will become totally involved in the political system. We must all be involved to force the changes so desperately needed and to bring our country back to a state of being a country by the people for the people and not a country run amuck from corporate tampering in all aspects of government which has lead to a totally inept Federal Government and near collapse of Democracy.
If you are one of those who thinks our country is just doing fine.> WAKE UP. Have you not heard the past two Presidential elections were ripped out of our, your, hands? According to all the research Bush did not win FL by a good margin in 2000. Bush did not win in Ohio in 04. Tampering with elections put a total jackass in the Whitehouse do to so many Americans not paying attention. It’s an outrage!
Equality breeds peace. Too many people in need create chaos. It’s that simple. Under Bush our country has been terribly harmed throughout the world. I am an independent but over the years I seem to feel more comfortable with Democan's then Republicant's. I would rather have my president getting a blow job in the Oval Office to release stress then having a President running around the world beating up leaders with his big bad bat and/or one that lies and does not seem to see reality at all. Ask anyone who knows me and they will confirm that I stated a year before Bush was ill appointed by his buddies in Supreme Court, if he got to the White House he would go down as the worst President in history. He proved me right. I simply did not and still do not think GW has the smarts it takes to manage the country. He has proven me right.
How did Bush get to the Presidency? CORPORATE MONEY! PERIOD!!! True.. some people do actually vote and those who do generally vote based on negative advertising not on the serious business matters our nation has to deal with. So the serious matters are left lingering as our nation falls apart at the seams.
We now have a mess with trillions in debt, immigration laws and enforcement, education, health care, prescription drugs, cost of housing, food, transportation, social security and Medicare as well as a total fiasco in foreign affairs. Bush has also put a tremendous financial burden on every many woman and child. We all owe well over $100,000.000 to pay off the Feds debt. Most of the debt do to a war we should not be in. A war for control of oil fields not terrorism but Bushes war has created more radicals not less. Just remember, Bush got there by big corporate money and now has cost us all disgrace as a country and deep debt. But his friends in the oil industry and Halliburton thank Bush for the billions in wind fall profits.
Do you actually believe we got a tax cut? If you do your dead wrong. Sorry if I offend anyone. That is not my purpose. My purpose is to wake up Americans before it just too late to reverse the damage to our country. YOU DID NOT GET A TAX CUT YOU GOT A MAJOR TAX INCREASE! Even if you did the increases were more then negated by increased energy costs.
Now… tell me… how much has your property taxes gone up as well as other new and increases old taxes most states have to put on its citizens to make up for the loss of federal funds in education, health care, infrastructure, highways, immigration and so on. So you got hit with higher taxes do to Bushes policies not less taxes. On top of the tax increases you were put into deep debt on the federal credit card. Those are the actual facts not the bullshit lies coming out of the Bush administration and Republican't congress.
We do have more jobs and low unemployment however, the jobs do not pay as much and many people work for less today then a decade ago. World trade is no good as long as our biggest trade partners like China do not allow may of our products into their country so we wind up importing billions more from them and they own a ton of our national debt which can be used against us in ways that can destroy the dollar to a point of being devalued.
The US at one time was looked upon by most of the word with serious envy. America was truly a great nation at one time. That is no longer the case. We are not hated by billions of people around the world. Rough leaders have more respect then Bush and the US. All do to lousy management of our nation and in particular foreign affairs and much of it driven by corporate powers and money and that is what all Americans have to put a stop to.
Corporations have more power in the federal government and in passing laws then we the people have. It was not meant to be this way by our Founding Fathers. We live in a society where dividends to investors and under the table and/or illegal deals seem to be more important then well managed. consumer friendly companies and a government that is prudent in its management of the people, the economy and foreign policy.
How many times in recent years have you had the feeling you’re a pest when you try to get customer service? It happens all the time. Now days it truly is ‘all about the money” not ‘we the people’. How many times have you felt our government is failing us?
However…..we the people do have the power and we do need to make our combined voices heard for the sake of our kids and grandkids. This blog is my way of protesting the theft of our Democracy by the power of big money corporations! We as a nation are on a path of destruction from within. We the people can change that course and direct our future by educating others and being involved in the political process that made this country great to start with. We the people must take back the power of government and demand a separation from big corporate money and lobbying.
A majority of Americans are so out of tune that twice a total idiot got became President. At least they woke up in the most recent Congressional elections and forced change to be made. I personally would rather have a President who gets head in the Whitehouse then one who lies to start wars and then illegally wire taps and spies on me all in the name of homeland security when the jerk and his team left the borders, ports and commercial cargo unchecked. It’s like the keystone cops not a strong government!
We the people are the CUSTOMERS of the GOVERNMENT and we must demand better standards in service and management from our leaders. We must demand and get revised election procedures without all the corporate monetary influence and mud slinging that get so personal and has little to do with the critical matters at hand.
It is time big money stop making laws and regulations and we the people make the laws and regulations we have to live by. It is time we stop big money from pushing our country down the wrong road. Do you think we would be in IRAQ if not for oil money? Of course Halliburton thanks you for the billions they gained with no big contracts. How cozy is that, considering the VP's tenure at Halliburton. To be honest I wish Chaney would take Bush hunting.
Do you think we would have terrorism if not for the oil the US consumers? Do you think we would need imported oil if our Government had invested big money into alternative energy research decades ago when we had the first oil crisis in 1972? Washington DC is out of control and we the people are the losers! Not only are energy prices hurting our personal economics, the green house gases we Americans are pushing into the atmosphere are a major cause of global warming. Yet… Bush and Clinton would not sign the treaties most other industrialized countries singed to cut green house gases. Ands all to protect the state of Corpocracy.
Corporations and their high paid lobbyist have to be removed from interference in government.
In my way of seeing reality the only people who should be supporting the current administration are fools and billionaires.
Is our country more secure today then it was on 911? NO and you can be assured the radicals will attack again in the US and you best believe it will make 911 look like kids play. Alchida is known to make each successive attack more horrific so it has the intended impact. So be prepared because more severe shocking attacks are coming to the US as long we elect stupid leaders who rule with big bat mentality and are guided by corporate needs not the needs of the people.
By the way… Halliburton thanks all of you for the BILLIONS we gave them through asinine leadership or should I say hijacking of government by the Bush/Chaney gang of criminals? And Halliburton should publicly apologize for killing so many of our boys for the sake of billions. IRAQ is about money not terrorism other then the fact Bushes attempt to control the oil fields has lead to out right civil war and more terrorism. But don't blame me, I live in Florida so my vote did not count.
Don’t you think we need more money spent to tighten our many miles of borders?
Don’t you think we need to be totally inspecting cargo that goes on commercial airliners?
Don’t you think our ports need to inspect all incoming cargo?
We the people must work together to take back control of our political system or the USA will continue to sink to being a has-been world power that was respected but no longer is.
Current foreign policy is wrong and the reason for high energy prices that will not be coming down and will continue to go up year to year. All at a time China can call in the close to a trillion in US debt and sink the dollar into hell along with our economy and society. If you do not know China Declared an Economic war on the US a few years back. Don't think so… read "Financial Reckoning Day". Learn why we are headed into a long painful recession that may last as long as 20 years. Similar to what Japan went through the past 20 years.
Further, the fact is, low interest rates allowed us to refinance our homes and use the equity to live high. How many people do you know that are facing foreclosure now that those nifty interest only or ARM payments are increasing along wit interest rates. How may bought second homes with the equity in hopes of flipping that are now in foreclosure. The numbers are staggering. Right here in Broward County Florida there are close to 20,000 foreclosures right now and the numbers are growing rapidly. interest rates. All the Bush gang did is set millions of families up for financial doom.
I grew in the cold war days. I remember going to sleep at night in the 50s frightened we were all going to be vaporized. Front yard fallout shelters were going in all over the neighborhood, the Cuban Missal Crisis and in the late 60s I got my draft notice to serve while still in high school. Now I go to sleep and wonder how many cities are attacked by Alchida when they finally hit again and as I stated, its not a matter if they will strike again but a matter of when and how massive.
Why are we not in the streets over the mess in IRAQ like we were for the Viet Nam war? I wonder why that same generation now days lay down to the whims of a far more out of control and damaging administration which is run by big money not we the people. Its time we take our country back! Come back to my blog often or subscribe by RSS.
If we do not raise hell once again and revolt against big money and corrupt government at all levels we will lose our Democracy and freedom altogether. Speaking of freedom, do we really have freedom if we live in fear of major terror attacks can be wire trapped without court order, may have our homes and business searched with no warning or notice the search had taken place?
Did you hear in S FL we have a new law? If you never had handcuffs on or been in jail you can not run for office in Dade County. They want you to have experience and fit in.
Until next time contemplate our future and become active in forcing change before our country is no longer influential in the world and become despised and hated by more and more of the world’s population!
