I can understand that point also, and unfortunately we may be looking at it happening in the major countries soon!

Here's a link that should scare the socks off of anybody that thinks we actually have "governments" anymore!

Using data obtained (circa 2007) from the Orbis database (a global database containing financial information on public and private companies) the team, in what is being heralded as the first of its kind, analyzed data from over 43,000 corporations, looking at both upstream and downstream connections between them all and found that when graphed, the data represented a bowtie of sorts, with the knot, or core representing just 147 entities who control nearly 40 percent of all of monetary value of transnational corporations (TNCs).

That 40% is about the combined GDP of the USA & Europe!!!
