Is there an area in our country, Michael, that the big corporations are not strategically planning?They’re strategically planning the kind of food we eat. They strategically plan the tax system to favor tax escapees for the rich and the corporate. They strategically plan our election system. They're behind a lot of this voter suppression. Clearly, the commercial interests don't want more votes coming from the lower-income rung of the political ladder.
