Dah!

Powerful interests play "we the people" like a drum. In the United States it's an oil drum. (Cheez looueez, aren't I clever?! *wink*)
Global monopolists cloak themselves in the trappings of petite market capitalists and decry government regulation ... so the global bullies can control (aka regulate) the markets. And we blissfully let them.
Think sports ... where would we be without foul lines, umpires, field judges, rules and regulations? Without 'em the Yankees would move the homerun fence closer every time they were up to bat at home, and refuse to play anywhere the other team did the same. 'Cuz they have the juice.
And now that our elected officials have sold out to corporate power and wealth ... and we've let them ... the checks and balances of our republic have been lost. We are consumers, not citizens.
We had better figure out a way to get our nation back ... we should be choosing between leaders more like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich, than like Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton.
Pogo was right all along, "We have met the enemy and they is us."
