I am a 3d generation immigrant married to a 1st generation immigrant with one son, named Emiliano after a great leader and revolutionary for the people and human rights in Mexico, Emiliano Zapata. I have degrees in Psychology and Anthropology. I do analytic chemistry of dyes in antique textiles, ceramic conservation, and jewelry fabrication, as well as activist work, poll worker during elections, and publish articles based on the forensic analysis of Navajo textiles.
That said, I think the U.S. is being controlled, as Eisenhower warned, by the Military Industrial Complex and to get back our democracy, we have to remove Corporate America from the media(one station/publication only), elections, lobbies, and not let elected officials or their direct family members have dealings with Corporate America for 10 years before or after holding office.
The people are not the same as corporations because corporations have much more power than individuals. People have to be protected from corporate power and we need a separation of corporate and state, just as there is a separation of church and state. Corporations do not have the rights of individuals, rather they are subject to the people and laws to regulate them. Mussolinni defined fascism as the marriage of the corporate and the state.

Do we need a Constitutional amendment to regulate the influence and current dominance of corporations and the rich and powerful interests? Should there be a separation of corporate and state?
