Flags

There are many people out there who want to believe that the American flag is being honored no matter how it is displayed at government sanctioned Fourth of July celebrations. I’m not one of them.

My problem is that only a couple hundred feet from this above huge flag hoisted on by use of firetruck ladders, one sees many smaller American flags waving side by side with the corporate flags of businesses who essentially own Congress and who often call the shots contrary to the wishes of the People of the United States.

If I had my way, corporate influence would be eradicated and thus invisible at Fourth of July festivities. If it means giving up air shows and big fireworks displays, so be it. The number one priority for the People of the United States should be to take back their country. It needs to be actually run by the People. Kicking the corporations out of Fourth of July celebrations would be a powerful first step.
