Corruption in Government?

August 2, 2026

Writes Bill Madden:

Please, say it isn’t so. Well, yes, we have enjoyed crony capitalism from our founding. The railroad construction during the 1800s is a fine example. The railroad developers received far more right of way land than they needed which they leased, sold or worked (farming, mining, real estate, etc) themselves.

In addition to lucrative government contracts, our rulers, the major owners of Corporate America, never have to worry about having their names divulged should they ever do anything illegal like party with Jeffrey Epstein.
