Dear Corporate America,

I have had to live under your influence all my life. I have watched in ever increasing disgust how your influence has garnered more and more influence over our legislative process at the expense of what's best for we the people.

You scare me because you are not driven by society's morals but by profits and growth by any means necessary.

You scare me because most of your decisions are made to make your short term quarterly numbers look good for wall street analysts rather than any long term benefit to society.

You scare me because by virtue of being publicly traded, no one can be effectively held accountable for your actions, not even the CEO or the Board of directors.

You scare me because you and the government have sufficiently built a system that works for both of you, with high barriers to entry for the common citizen insuring that nothing stands in the way of your goals.

You scare me because your access to the legislative process severely undermines my ability to engage MY representatives and participate in the process.

You scare me because somehow lobbying for laws to protect the profits of dying industries and obsolete business models is determined to be more cost effective than investing in more promising endeavors.

And finally, you scare me because I feel the only choice I have now is to choose between Fascism and Socialism. Neither of which represent anything remotely related to the qualities and virtues this country was founded on.

In response to a letter that has been floating around by some corporate drone who's afraid some black guy might transform his way of life. To you sir(e), I say that you are not the one that needs to worry.
