Your Opinion: We need protection from corporate America

Dear Editor:

Keep Americans safe. We hear that all the time from politicians. We have heard that from Donald.

Our government will sell billions of dollars in weapons to other nations. Our government spends hundreds of billions every year on weapons and war. Bombs, drones, jets, ships, you name it. For protection they say.

I think a lot of the protection we need is from corporate America. We need protection from food companies, drug companies, and oil companies.

Did you watch the show Seedsavers on PBS Monday the 17th, I believe it was Independent hens? Monsanto and other companies want to control agriculture. Seeds, plants, the whole deal! Big Ag has put thousands of farmers around the world out of business. We can raise our own food if needed. Healthy food.

Remember Flint, Michigan? Our water sucks! Keep us safe, right?

When it comes to protecting us and other nations from corporate plunder our government is like the old phrase "As worthless as breasts on a boar hog."

Let's hope pot is decriminalized soon, because with the government we have right now, we are all going to need some stress relief the next four years. Hopefully we will have some changes in 2018 and the four years will be cut short. I thought everyone learned a lesson after Bush and friends. Not! People on the right never learn, the people on the left are still learning.
