The Problem Is Not JUST Money In Politics
-- by Dave Johnson
We also need to get the corporate propaganda out of our national discussion.
Corporate money doesn't just dominate politics, it manipulates and dominates our national discourse. The propaganda is everywhere, and everything.
Imagine what would happen if we got the money out of politics, and the propaganda out of our thinking! It would take a couple of years of recovery before we could even begin to have rational thinking and discussion again, not to mention start actually addressing our problems.
Imagine being able to address climate change and other energy-related issues without oil company money polluting, manipulating, bullying, distorting, misdirecting and dominating everything!
Imagine being able to actually address health care issues, and having actual, honest rational discussions trying to determine the best approaches!
It's difficult to even imagine at this point. It's like we are all in a trance.
