The business model would have us slide into an economic fascism. The millwork of the 1880's is a natural model of a businessman's maximum efficiency and most profitable system. It was only broken by the responses to the disgusting conditions the mills set upon mankind, causing them to think frequently and form unions, journalistic muckraking, and government anti-trust actions and support of unions.

Today we have corporate control of journalism, relative control of organization, control of government, and a sweatshop system that is as horrific, but far removed from the consciousness of those able to help and exact this control.

We as Americans, representatives to the world, need to investigate the way those in other areas live and ensure with the resources we have that what happens to them is what we would want happening to us.

Corporations are ramping up their efforts to create a businessman's paradise of low paid workers and high profits. Will they provide for the world with their industries? No, they will provide for the highest bidder. That flaw keeps their world from being a true paradise. Those who cannot afford the good to make quality living are priced out of the market that provides everything.

Money is not our only goal.

I am glad to give you tools to use.
