Who has control of the US right now:

[Deja Q]

George W Bush ("president")

Corporations (who buy the politicians and get influence and power in return)

Karma (a "screw you Bush" for putting the economy and country is such dire straits)

Allah (the irony of it all)

Other

1. I am going on record.

Currently Jack Black seems to have all the control. Or he has the best agent and manager in the business, because he is everywhere.

2. Corporations for sure have control of the US

They buy politicians at every level...even down to the local government. Look at how pro sports teams (which are corporate in every way shape and form) shake down local governments to get new publicly funded stadiums that many in the public cannot afford to enter.

Lets not even talk about the tax abaitments that corporations get when they threaten to move jobs out of an area as Ford did recently in Hazelwood, Missouri.

4. True

It's sad how our society works.

The much vaunted "American way of life" only works for a select few. And current events are showing that those in control want the way of life eliminated for most.

A parallel to the disgusting stadium issue (you don't want to know a ceratin Betty McCollum then...) is this picture:
