not the govt., just its master
We have entered a realm that the founding fathers could not have imagined. Corporations now completely control our government. Unfortunately, our Constitution was only designed to attempt to protect us from an overreaching government, not its corporate masters. Sure, Apple won under the rules of the game, but the game is rigged in its favor. With the loss of our public spaces to privatization, our education system to underfunding, our airwaves to half a dozen large corporations and, soon, the net neutrality of the internet, the typical American doesn’t even have the tools to protest even if s/he can determine what to protest. Welcome to the third world, American style.
