The economic power structure of the US is extremely
political. One of the best examples, is the
fact that the varied industries which are
supposed to be regulated by various government
agencies in fact control those agencies. The
FCC does not regulate broadcasting, it
looks after the vested interests of broadasting,
routinely renewing radio & T.V. licenses while
denying challenges to those public licenses
from individuals & groups who are locked
out of the opportunity to broadcast on the
public airways. The Federal Trade
Commission is known as a cowardly
burocratic body beholding to consumer
industries instead of protecting
consumers. And so on down the line -
The I.C.C. serving the railroad
& trucking industries, the F.A.A. acting
as the tool of the airline interest, the
agriculture dept representing racist policies
and handing out billions to 6000 plantation
owners not to grow food.
The defense department which gives 50 billion
dollars annually to underwrite corporate
aircraft giants to make mistakes with
C-5A's and pad pocketbooks of former
Pentagon Generals. The justice department
with Mitchell and Hoover who oversee
monopolitic enterprise and the major
gambling syndicate and do nothing, yet
persecute Black Panthers and black
people who dare speak up for
their rights.
