Originally government made corporations to benefit business. Now corporations make governments to benefit business. All power derives from the people, but corporations are unable to take that power themselves. Corporations rightfully fear the power of the people to sue them and to ignore them. To avoid this corporations have influenced government to make laws that prevent them from being sued or to limit their liability.
We can reclaim government. How dare we the people feel powerless when just 50 years ago people were marching in the streets for civil rights. We shall overcome. Common sense requires common people, and it's going to require common effort too -- but I am convinced that we can indeed change things again.
