Why do the Americans think that their lobbyist infested Congress allied with other vested interest groups actually constitute a democratic institution? Surely, it’s the personification of corruption (Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal)? Not one US major Corporation pays its allocated tax--they ALL claw most of it back through loopholes and scams. Hence the $14 trillion debt!

Why would anybody in their right mind think this was a form of FREEDOM, or would want to emulate such a degenerate Plutocracy. The entire society is pornographically orientated, with this or that being pushed as sexy, and with Hollywood at the centre of World pornography.

In only 236 years, the Pilgrim Fathers ethos has been transformed to wholesale pole dancing, widespread drugs and porn. What is even more pathetic is that Europe seems to be intent and content to follow the US example.

The EU Parliament has turned into a clone of the US Congress, with its own panoply of disgusting gangster type lobbyist’s intent on twisting the bureaucratic process into their corrupt mould. How was Greece allowed into the Eurozone? Why is the taxpayer picking up the greedy Bank’s gambling debts? Why is the taxpayer subsidising the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy? There’s a host of subsidies going into all sorts of loony projects, all down to industry lobbyists. From what is observable, neither Europe nor America has anything to teach the world when it comes to governance or ethics.

The corruption is endemic and terminal!
