Whither the questions regarding corporate influence on politics?
Oh wait: conservatives worship Corporate America as the driving force behind American prosperity. They look to Corporate America as a source of values, principles, and hope. They look to Corporate America as the foundation of the very essence of the state and every individual within it. They look to Corporate America as a means to find salvation from everything that plagues society. They pay tribute to Corporate America through tax breaks, for all of the good it brings. Oh, yes, they look quite fervently to the Catholic Church Corporate America, and it is for the good of the American public above all else.
