  • I don't see anything different with what had happen in their Haystack, corporations were dreamed up and there was parity with charity in America 200 years ago. So now--we have corporations revenues as their tax base to pay their bank debths. The word 'stop' are not in both book ends vocabulary-- unfortunately.
