  1. It used to be owned by the taxpayers. Now it is owned by special interest groups and politicians who want to be our mommys and take the control and responsibility out of our hands. We do vote directly for the senate.  You seem a little confused.


  2. The American Medical Association, 'big pharma', the oil industry, the automobile manufacturing industry, 'big tobacco', the legal profession, and big banking and investment concerns are the primary owners of our U.S. government.

    "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

    Looks like FDR knew what he was talking about! Today, it's 'big corporations' that own 'big government' - and 'we the people no longer even have a voice - or choice - in who is 'selected' to lead our country. Until we get rid of the "Republicrats" and force the demise of a monopolistic, corrupt two-party system, we will see our liberties continue to erode.  -RKO-  07/17/08

  3. The descendants of the old eastern european Jewish Aristocracy families of Rothschild and Rockefellers to name a few

  4. china... They are the country that is building, because for some  DEMOCRATic reason, we aren't.

  5. The Federal Reserve Bank.

  6. Insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, are the top two, we know the oil company has paid them off handsomely already, We cannot afford anymore top profits that we are forced to pay for, with no alternative, car insurance is already mandated by law!

  7. Basically democratic governments are held by the people

  8. The Council on Foreign Relations, Big Oil, the Vatican, Israel, Microsoft...Everyone but the American people.

    Don't think that either of the two major parties is better than the other...they are both owned.

    Oh yeah - probably most of all, the owners of the private Federal Reserve Bank - the official money counterfeiters.
