Privateering is a means of transferring wealth from ordinary - TopicsExpress



          

Privateering is a means of transferring wealth from ordinary taxpayers to wealthy investors, making the wealthy much wealthier, while robbing ordinary people of the security and opportunity that government should provide. Democracy is the first casualty of privateering. Our lives are being governed more and more by private corporations. We have not elected them, cannot turn them out of office or make them accountable to us. Each act of privateering robs us of a portion of democracy. ~ George Lakoff, The Political Mind
