Description

By law, corporations must act outside human moral constructs, exhibiting qualities we ascribe to fictional Robots run amok. They control every human enterprise, manipulating government, our purchasing decisions, even our religious beliefs. They have concentrated most of our wealth into the hands of a few thousand people, gutting the Middle Class. Most Americans recognize the inequity but argue about where to lay blame. Free trade! Immigrants! Muslims! Republicans malign Democrats, who blame Republicans. Others condemn the godless, who chide the God-fearing. Tens of millions of us reject the scapegoating. We post responses to online articles, write letters to editors, and attend town hall meetings. Others march, all in vain. Lacking the wealth of corporations, no amount of shouting, writing, or marching gains attention from people in power. They only have ears for Robots. Yet citizens could waken to the potency they still have. We can counter corporate influence. While conservatives rightly seek relief from government overreach, we also need freedom from Robotic manipulation. No human alone can stop this, but there still may be enough time for We the People.
