CORPORATIONS AND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED

 CORPORATIONS AND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED

By Domenick J. Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

 

During the revolutionary period our powerful founders could easily have let our country become a permanent colony of the British Empire. These men only had to comply with the decrees of King George III. The sophisticated colonists would have maintained their vaulted status and riches. However, they had a greater vision for the land early settlers had built. The freedom fighters fought England’s tyranny to give the gift of freedom to guide the future of America.

 

Fifty-five of them signed our constitution establishing a limited government with checks and balances. This limited the power of any one person or cabal to dictate how citizens should live. In addition to this sacred document, they insisted on adding a Bill of Rights. The Ten Amendments were signed by ninety founders spelling out and guaranteeing specific rights that should never be denied to U.S. citizens. 

 

The signers comprehended that citizens need to possess religious and moral values to maintain a free nation. This would guide them in earning a living and having the freedom to spend their own income as each citizen saw fit. Adam Smith’s free market economy became the framework of our national economy. Our Constitutional Republic and capitalist economy are not perfect although they have produced the best economy known to man and freest nation on earth. 

 

The model of the corporate world is the opposite of the government of our constitutional republic. The corporate system operates from the top down. The corporate executive officer, CEO, devises a plan that everyone in the organization is compelled to follow. If there is one thing a corporation must maintain is uniformity from one department or satellite facility to another to regulate the organization’s efficiency. Uniformity and immense scope and size are essential for the corporation to be most effective. 

 

The corporate world grew as our nation and economy expanded. Corporations found it more efficient to mass produce a specific product or service inexpensively. Employees were hired to do repetitive and simple tasks. Job satisfaction decreased although salaries rose seducing many people to leave the independent life of farming or their small businesses for a more lucrative and dependable income. 

 

In middle and upper management many work additional hours taking work home. They are in charge of a small part of the business without the knowledge and power to impact the bigger structure of the corporation. They learn to conform to the larger corporate vision. 

 

These two divergent approaches, one of dogmatically following the CEO’s directives from the top down and the other from the bottom up to determine the direction the voters want in our Constitutional Republic to proceed. Self-employed individuals develop a unique lifestyle based on their individual preferences and freedom. These owners have direct relationships with customers and employees who make innovative suggestions from the bottom up which is a fundamental feature of capitalism.

 

These two approaches to life are being fought out in our American politics. Progressive-socialists want cradle-to-grave government assistance from the top down. Individuals need to give up their individual needs for the poor choices of others. For “equity” to happen government must take from the productive and give to the slackers. Corporations now must insist on diversity indoctrination for social justice and censorship to coerce employees to accept unjust political and managerial practices. 

 

Traditional Americans that our founders wanted to protect and encourage, believe that self-determination, hard work and freedom of opportunity are the most effective ways to gain prosperity for the people and the nation. When people make their own independent choices of spending their own resources, they make better economic choices than the ones based on the economic experts’ predictions. The accumulation of people’s choices is the “invisible hand.” The invisible hand guides the intricate decisions of the capitalist society, not economic experts.

 

We are witnessing a diametrically opposed phenomenon with gigantic corporations, social media, fake news, Amazon, lackey socialist politicians attempting to gain control of our federal government. These global political experts intend to unite under a world banner. These “superior elite’s” modern electronic devices and media brainwashing techniques will dictate the behavior and thoughts of the people. “1984” will become a reality worldwide. 

 

The only force that could resist this worldwide corporate tyranny is the world’s people. We need to unite all over the globe against this totalitarian nightmare. It is best to end this potential nightmare before it takes hold and crushes individual freedom.
