Corporations have shareholders (well, public ones do, and those are the

Oh...my...GOD!  Say it ain't so!  Please tell me they're aren't

believe it.

Lotsa luck.  Such is the nature of party politics.  A "moderate" has
more in common with a fringe party than the 2 biggies, but that's not
where the money (or votes) are.

I saw some interesting statistics on the "poverty line" which showed a
majority of those classified so owned TVs, cell phones, microwaves,
cars, and a significant portion owned computers.
