How do we free the government from the grasp of corporations?

Answer 1

Most people might say "get money out of government" -- meaning something like stop the pay-back-favors for all of the contributions.

I say "get government out of money" -- meaning that there ought to be a separation of money & state the same way as the separation of church & state, and for the same reasons; they both lead to imposition of force.

Further, why do corps smooze up to these political hosers? It's not that they like them so much, it's that the hosers think they are the annointed Santa Claus.

Answer 2

Republicans get the money from Corporations and the wealthy. Democrats get the money form Unions and trial Lawyers, some Corporations, like Bill Gates. No one with half a brain could think that we can ever end all bribes in Congress, we can not. We can only vote for Democrats who have a proven record of helping average Americans. The Republican record of bribes and corruption is fact. If ya have time google the bribes and corruption in Texas. It's out fo control there. It has been for a long time.
BTW, check this out.The report said al Qaeda would continue to pose "the greatest threat" to the United States by a single group.
It said there was a large body of information indicating that activists identifying themselves as jihadists were increasing in number and geographic dispersion.
White House homeland security adviser Frances Townsend said that estimate came in part from reviewing the increasing number of hostile Internet postings.
Townsend defended the decision not to release the whole document, saying the few key judgments held back "go directly to national security concerns" and there were fears about disclosing sources and methods. "sources and methods", "internet postings" Bush has once again proven his self a liar, he told all Americans "the NSA was not "data mining" and not recording Americans on cell phones". The Governement now has refused to let Americans see what they really are doing.

Answer 3

Become a supporter of H.R. 25 The Fair Tax. Passing the Fair Tax would enable the largest transfer of power from the government to individual citizens since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The Fair Tax is a national sales tax that would replace the current Income Tax system.

With no corporate income taxes to be paid, the government can no longer give taxes back to corporations in the form of corporate wellfare, hence the need for government to listen to large corporations will diminish.

Not to mention that the United States would then become the world's tax haven - as Switzerland and the Cayman Islands are today.
