According to the article “THE SHOCK DOCTRINE” by Naomi Klein. These days corporate companies control the United States politically and economically. So, when we look at the American government right now these corporation benefits from the constitution because politicians rely on them during campaign and other financial needs. Thus, the politicians and lawmakers are just puppets of the corporate companies.
In order to win a heart and mind of the people, this giant corporations waits for the right moment to make people believe what they are doing is right, and that is when natural disasters or crises happens and worst they tries to privatize most of the public system, mainly to destroy Unions because people are in need of help. Such a tactic famously known as a economic “shock treatment” by Milton Freedmen, who served as a top economic adviser for the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Similarly to the freedman idea, Disney and fast food industries also use their own political philosophy “survival of the fittest” to destroy Unions and to makes people believe only strong survives.
As we go deeper into the history of the corporate industries, it gets darker and darker and that is the reality of the present democracy of the United States.
