Who Runs America?

Monsanto Protection Act Proves Corporations More Powerful Than Government by Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society
Tell President Obama to veto the Monsanto Protection Act!

I don't think he will veto it.

So who writes the laws and rules? Is it accurate to say that in the United States, commercial justice is paramount and trumps all other rights, duties, and obligations? It's a very narrow understanding of commutative justice. What then, of the rule of law, when the law is in the hands of the few, who write it for their own benefit, privileging the few who hold [economic] power, for the sake of profit and control?

Just a few weeks ago, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Merrigan resigned. What were her reasons for doing so? Any connection to the continued dominance of Monsanto and Big Ag over the Federal Government?
