I'm honestly about ready to turn Elfie off. He's going off the deep end in many a thread these days.
That said, I kind of agree with the corporatocracy idea. I think government (and specifically Republicans) have not been doing enough to create and protect true free market ideals. They have protected the well-being of the super-corporations it seems to me above protecting the ideals of simple business creation and fair practice and anti-monopoly checks/balances.
I'm not sure which side of the aisle anymore sticks up for the protection, creation and ability to start small business and its ability to compete fairly against the megalopolis/global industrial elites. I don't think it's the Republicans or the Democrats.
It couldn't have been anymore obvious than with all the incentives given to start wind farms and all the money that went to GE wind turbines... Think about how many politicians lined their pockets with GE money for that and GE then just reimbursed itself with the subsidies given to keep that industry afloat. It was like a big *** turbine blade that obliterates scenic mountain views, along with birds and bats,,it just keeps going around and around and around.
Personally with the exception of the fringe conservatives and uber liberal representatives I still think the core Reps and the Dems are all in the same boat. They just put on a show to make us think we are somehow involved in the process.
