just start with WALMART.......they give new starts, and current peon employees a sheet of all the places to go for government assistance and food banks.....so they can pay them less in wages.........

We here in Denver are witnessing what the Walmart clan does with all the money they are saving.......
The Walmart Clan now owns every major professional sports team in Denver except the Rockies Base ball team, which no one wants....(due to the fact that NO pitchers want to come to play for Denver, due to the high altitude)
The Walmart clan that just bought the Broncos, have decided to build a new, covered stadium.....They are paying for the stadium, but the city's tax payers, are footing the bill for the massive amounts of infrastructure to accommodate the new stadium, Water, Sewage, Roads, Electrical, Light rail stations, etc the list is endless.......AND the price of tickets is prohibitive, ruling out tons of people who can't afford to go to games.....and the point that no one realizes, is that all the Private Boxes, and most of the good seats are purchased by Corporations so their executives can go to games, and the corporations get to take deductions on their taxes to buy the seats. (all the money they deduct has to be made up by normal taxpayers)

They just as well rename our country.............THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA......
When Corporations and Government merge... it is called FASCISM..............
