We all know we hate classism, but at this point, the economic class makes money just for being them. A working man might hope to have a small house or apartment by his wits and hard work. But everything else is owned. All of the productive resrources, the mineral rights under your feet, they even propose to own the air that you breathe at least in the inverse: BP’s mistakes are busy pumping highly toxic organic gasses into THEIR air. Know how you know they own it? The United States Military is protecting their proprietary rights. By keeping journalists and researchers away, the USA, our military and a FOREIGN CORPORATION assert that’s it’s their air, not yours. They can do what they please with it, even Ron Paul says so: do not mess with private enterprise. And you still have freedom of choice. Don’t like the air? Stop breathing it...
