The United Corporations of America. Name Change time.
The States and citizens have effectively been removed from the American equation today. Doesn't our truth in advertising law dictate that we might be due for a name change?

I heard the other day that there are 100 corporate lobbyists for every 2 citizens lobbying group. These are the people who influence our laws and life.

Us?

Shit. The only way we make a difference is if we can say, make a movie that gets an Academy Award and expose the lies of a sitting President right before an election... Wait. That didn't work. (Sorry, Mike).

Hell, we don't even have a government anymore, just a board of directors made up of the richest people in the world no matter where they're from.

Adios, middle class, I hardly knew you.
