Whenever things are going badly for the Left and the Democrats, they drag out their old socialist mantras and start beating up on corporations. You know about corporations, don’t you? According to the “progressive” Left, corporations are those evil entities that force us to buy millions of cell phones, TVs, stereos, computers, Ipods, cars that run with little maintenance, and thousands of other things that make our lives easier and more interesting.
Then there are those really, really bad corporations that invent and manufacture malevolent MRI machines, or the technical doodads that cure cancer through radiation, or machines that allow decadent doctors to do by-pass surgeries and other such procedures with almost 100 percent survival rates. But the worst of these knaves are the food-related corporations. These mean-spirited corporate villains direct their degraded employees to sneak into our grocery stores at night and fill the shelves with endless varieties of deliciously edible things - - fresh vegetables, tasty cuts of meat, good wines, fine desserts.
Oh, the evil of it all! The audacity of these corporate entities to even exist is enough to stir the class hatreds of the progressive soul. The dictates of the Left demand that these corporate evil doers be taxed and harassed until they see the evil of their ways and repent, or better yet, just go out of business. Then we can all happily go back to something else - - I don’t know, maybe farming, or stealing, or something! We rural folks will be okay. We have a half acre or so to grow food on and a goat or cow for milk. But what about those poor souls who live in the cities? Won’t they need jobs to make a living? Nah, the government will just send them a check - - until the money runs out.
