Feudalism is the only word I could find to describe the current situation as money collected from us (the hardworking taxpayers) is directed to the monstrously wealthy - who (through trickery) pay relatively little or no tax on obscene profits (or get it back by gov't grants), to fund creating more efficient ways of tricking us into purchasing at ridiculous rates energy gathered from the earth, wind, sun, water and air. Isn't funded research supposed to benefit those who pay for it? For that matter isn't the profit of their corporations also, truthfully, simply another form of tax levied on us anyway (& sanctioned by the govts -elected and paid by us to protect our interests instead of granting license to the wealthy to get away with their thieving ways).
Please don't bring up who owns what and why - all that legal mumbo jumbo is just the technicality of theft. The emperors have no clothes! We can all see their obese greedy hearts. What are we going to do about it?

Evil Disney: That's been tried many times and it has never worked - it just created another version of the same thing - mediocrity in control is no better than tyranny. We have to find a better way - something that unites everyone instead of destroying anyone.
