The Political And Media Play-Act

Executive, Legislative, Judicial, Media .. all 4 legs of the government as expressed in the Constitution - are now bought out by the Corporate Executives. And on the face of it, what's everyone's excuse? "We need Corporate help to buy ads on TV," say the Executives/Legislators/Judges. "We need Corporate ad money to bring you the best reporting in the world," say the media. But that's just a game they play.

So when you say, "Why won't you raise taxes on the rich?" they say - "Don't punish success." But whose success? Their success. "Tax cuts help politicians and media execs stay rich," is something you will not hear them say. Rather, they say, "We can't tax the job-creators because then they will move elsewhere and the economy will crash and we will be destitute." This is just extortion, plain and simple. But the Media REFUSES to point it out, because they know this is just a game as well.

And why *would* the Media say that Corporate Executives are extorting the politicians into keeping taxes on them low? After all, the same extortion exists with Media ad sales: "Spin the news so it's favorable to the big Corporations, or your ad accounts will dry up." Again, it's just a game at this point, because there's no WAY a Media group would shoot themselves in the foot and lose that sweet Corporate ad-money. So it stretches the truth, here and there.
