I see ppl. here wanting to revolt against the corporations...the answer is icahn report (can't put the link here for some reason) and joining the United Shareholders of America (USA), check it out. Run by Activist Icahn who is always spelled negatively in the media since he's going against them

AMERICA DOES NOT ENTERTAIN CAPITALISM! Capitalism is a laizze faire approach to economics, whereby there are NO GOVERNMENTAL CONTROLS on the system. America has a highly-controlled economic system in place, and has never committed to capitalism.

As Americans we need to begin a revolution against the corporation.

I just wrote an iReport on how I hate the word consumer, and some people actually asked me what was so wrong with being called a consumer? Carlin was so right.. people don't notice and they don't care.

capitalism is a system which provides us the ability to move faster in economy. it is not perfect, but none is. He is right about everything. But he, you and I can't fix it. We can just make it better a little bit each time
