6. Livelihoods. The US has the highest unemployment rate, highest poverty level, and largest income gap among so-called advanced nations. [3]

7. Lives. The lives of countless Americans are no longer private, are endangered, or ae ended yearly from all sorts of harms the corpocracy causes (e.g., NSA's spying; GMOs in the food supply chain, etc. etc.). [3]

8. Environment. Except to the deniers, the corpocracy's pillage and pollution of our environment are there to see, suffer, and ponder a distant prospect of ecocide [3].

The foregoing list is just a sampling of what a complete and detailed list of the corpocracy's gross domestic pillage would include. Americans are being robbed hourly of their rights, their opportunities, their quality of life, and even their lives sometimes.

This monumental and devastating pillage exists because corporate America perpetrates it and the US government subsidizes it, enacts permissive legislation, and does not hold corporations accountable for their wrongdoing.

America has consequently become a failed state, a warfare state, a police state. The fatalistic belief that "things have to get worse before they can get worse" may prove in the not so distant future to be a fatal belief.
