Are some fueling hate between the right and the left to keep us distracted as they set up a total Corporatocracy in the USA?

Let me begin by saying I am not anti capitalism or anti corporation. I owned my own corporation for years, and now own a sole proprietorship. My concern is corporatocracy, not responsible corporate behavior that benefits us all.

There are people who are fabulously wealthy, in the top 1% of wealth, who move in and out of government, or who can buy people in government. They can then have government direct lucrative contracts to corporations they own or hold an interest in. Some think it’s already too late. Corporate money buys the votes of both parties. Now they can spend unlimited sums on political advertising. They hire PhDs and skilled communicators in think tanks to develop divide-and-conquer strategies and guide the major political parties in implementing them. CEOs, top government advisors and even heads of watchdog agencies circulate through revolving doors. CEOs rake in millions then hit the $10 million golden parachute and land in government where they steer billion dollar contracts, some of them no bid, to the very companies they just left and still own huge financial interests in. Some think there may still be hope, but average voters are driven about by phony controversies and manufactured hate just to make sure we never gain the political will to exercise that hope.

What do you think? Are we heading for a Corporatocracy? Are we there yet? Is Corporatocracy a good move or bad?
