Yes, our economic/political system is based on greed at the top; revolving doors between industry and regulators, resulting in little to no regulation; and corrupt. On the issues of clean environment, air, water and foods alone we are failing into deadly territory. Much of the 'push' is driven by big Capital, big Pharma, big Chemical, big Oil, and big Political bosses - and they are all intertwined. No matter what one thinks of the system in the abstract, it has proven itself to be an unworkable and unfixable system - which must be replaced...and fast!
