Money is power--it commands not only
goods and services in private markets, but also the services of those who
govern. Only those who control large corporations can provide the money
politicians need to campaign for national office in the world's largest
economy.

system, the primary role of government is to nurture a private market that will
in turn subordinate government to the profits of the wealthy minority who control
large corporations.
Why would any society want to do
this? Ask our two political parties.
