CORPORATE-THINK

The Rev. Dana Prom Smith, S.T.D., Ph.D. (4/1/06)

Most Americans think that America led by the Bush Administration is headed the wrong way. The middle-class is being wiped-out. President Bush deceived us into an unwinable war. Our government is corrupt. What is there about the Bush Administration that makes it so tawdry? Corporate-think!

Corporate-think wants to invest the least to get the most. We forget that Donald Rumsfeld at the Defense Department made his mark before Bush’s Iraqi War as a Republican functionary and drug company executive. Clues one and two. Against senior military advice, he used the least number of troops, forgetting General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s dictum, “I git thar firest with the mostest men.” It’s called “overwhelming force.” As with most corporate-thinkers, Rumsfeld cheaped out, skimping on armor and shorting the troops to do the job.

Corporate-think is behind the immigration crisis about which Bush done nothing for six years. Corporate-think wants low wages which means eliminating the middle-class, hiring illegal aliens at poverty wages, and reducing America to a third-world status. This means government inaction, porous borders, and national insecurity. Corporate-thinkers fight terrorism by letting down our guard, selling out our country for a buck.

With corporate-thinkers anything goes. They speak of the profit-motive which means greed and corruption. Third clue. They produce medicines that kill, make cars that guzzle and pollute, ill arm our soldiers, sell inferior products, profit by war, and so forth and so on. Exxon, Halliburton, Wal-Mart, Enron, etc. are sociopathic organizations, motivated by greed which inevitably leads to corruption.
