Own the media? Wait a second I thought the Jews owned the media. Or was
it the Liberals? Maybe the Conservatives? Maybe the Christains? Maybe
the Anti-Christ? I do not know all these people keep telling me some one
different ownes the media.

Whacko conspiracy theorist seems claim all of these own the media. Now
that wealthy landowners own a piece too I highly doubt any one group
could have more control. Now you see why I lump you into the conspiracy
theorist category.

That is only because the American public in general has little economic
education. The Congress does not know the cost of the tax and the
workers do not. The unions love stuff like this. Surprisingly enough
people have probably read your post and thought you were a trained
economist. I know much better.

Alas you finally see the problem but you do not see why this is a problem.
