(7,018 posts)of the American public with their cooked-up news and lies for over a century. They are now
reaping their evil rewards.
I sometimes question the oft-repeated phrase "Crime Doesn't Pay." It so often does pay -- and
the rewards are often huge. Countless millions are voting for the Corporations (both Republicans
and Democrats) and these are good, decent people with no special interest in politics. Not
everyone can be expected to be interested in politics, just as not everyone can be interested in
mathematics or history, or religion...etc... . I have a good friend with a doctorate. She has
avoided politics all her life. It simply bores her no end. These people can't be bothered to find
out accurate news for themselves. My friend does not vote. But many of these people are simply
voting from what they have heard from their families all their lives, just so that they can get their
civic duty off their minds.
Yes, unfortunately, the above can and does go on from generation to generation.
Corporations know how to make good use of the above natural quality of a large fraction of human
beings, and Corporate people know how to work hard at it. It pays them extremely well!!!
