The engine of control and greed. The need for ever increasing market share and profit through growth, acquisition, and corruption.

What’s the interest? Large scale disruptions are occurring to the healthy functioning of governing bodies - for profit, and at times, mutual benefit. There is a suppression of information, technologies, and discoveries beneficial to society, but contrary to industry profit making or interests. It should be understood that in a free capitalist market the preference is not competitive spirit, but domination and monopoly. The collaboration of powerful transnational industries and governments results in tremendous impacts to society and a corruption of government that too often shapes law making and policies, in addition to curbing prudent corporate regulations.

Quote: “When the Speaker's gavel comes down, it's intended to open the People's House, and lately it's looking like the Auction House - whether it's an energy bill that gives more than $8 billion to the oil and gas interests while oil's at $64 a barrel, whether it's a corporate tax bill solving a $5 billion problem with a $150 billion solution, whether it's a pharmaceutical, prescription drug bill where the industry gave $132 million and walked away with $135 billion in additional profits.”
