American Democracy for Sale

Multinational corporations have set out to destroy the American economy.  How are they doing this?  They have invested millions in Republican congressional races all across the United States with the sole purpose of buying our democracy.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has recently dropped millions of undisclosed cash into various races, all backing Republican candidates.  What is there agenda?  They seem to be after the minimum wage.  It is my opinion that these multinational corporations wish to destroy the U.S. economy in order to access dirt cheap labor here in the United States.  This is a war, and if the American people do not wake up, we will have a collapsed economy, and no safety net to fall back on.  Here is one example of what is going on in Ohio's 18 district:
Last week, a ThinkProgress investigation revealed that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been using foreign money to fund its partisan attack ads this election. The very same day, the Chamber endorsed Bob Gibbs (R) in his campaign against Rep. Zack Space (D) in Ohio’s 18th congressional district. Gibbs said it was “an honor” to have the group’s support. In the nine days since, the Chamber has already pumped nearly $30,000 into the race.

Corporations are coming after our safety net, and they couldn't have planned this at a worse time considering our economic climate.  Most people are most likely oblivious to this, and I worry so much for America and our future.  We cannot continue down this path, we will see utter destruction at the hands of the corporate interests.  There would like to see us revert back to raw capitalism, late 19 century revisited.  If the current rate of wealth concentration keeps at this pace, there will not be a middle class any more.  The truth is we are facing all out class warfare.  We have to take back what is ours before it is too late.  Apathy and lack of knowledge will destroy our democracy.  Wake up America, before it is too late.
