[Veracious Poet]

Although the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve Act are two of the most heinous acts of tyranny to ever befall the American sheeple, this present evil is the direct result of an expansion of corporate interests away from being national concerns to becoming global entities...

At one time even the most vile of greedy corporate opportunists saw taking care of the US people as being tied to there interests, in a survivalist kind of way, but starting at the end of the cold war (actually going back to the late 60s when traditionally US Industry expanded into non-US countries) they started assuming the role once left to the Colonial Powers of previous decades: Privileged Elite Imperialists

With the coming of NAFTA & GATT they used Madison Ave. political spin to sell it to the American middle-class, who fell in love with the short-term benefits, but will be utterly destroyed by it's long-term consequences.
