Huge corporations have immense power already and they are getting bigger and more powerful. They shape the media, which shapes the minds of the masses. A handful of powerful media giants/corporations are able to decide how much airtime to give political parties, political decisions and they decide what we learn about as a people. Corporations are all about money, which means that politics is becoming more about money, rather than the good of the people as a whole
A democratic government is supposed to represent the people, but we now know the government often yields to the interests of these huge companies.
My question is:
How do we as a people a) wake up society to the truth and b) give control of our political destiny to the people? (How do we re-boot democracy?)
