The corporate sponsored protests, aka teabaggers, birthers, etc., are means to an end of less government in their affairs. Aside from wealth and the obvious control, what are the corporations end game?

I believe so the can "buy up" a whole U.S. States.

You may think I'm crazy, but this is what I see happening.

Now that the supreme court is going to rule any day now that corporations can contribute to any political candidate just like a person, what keeps them from using their massive influence to keep buying one senator after another? Nothing.

They will control and manipulate them to the point that no laws will ever be passed that does harm to corporations or they deem an obstruction to their business.

The country will be divided into "sales territories" and the corporations will promote their brand of bullshit via their salesman. (read senator or reps)

They will push upon the US, their version of, first, corporate fascism, under the dwindling credibility of democracy. This will be followed shortly after by corporate serfdom. We already live with a version of that, abet a small version.
Just a massive version of the company store. Use walmart as your operating example.

Once the doors are flung open on corporate donations, we are done.

Everything from that point on will be controlled by the corporations.

If they don't want you, you will be fired, but not just from your job, but from life.

Your freedom of speech will vanish, because they will state that "even when you are not at work, you are still "representing" the company as an employee".

It's endless.

The privatization of every aspect of our nation will become the norm.

These easily manipulated mouth breather protesters, of the teabag variety, scream and shout about how government needs to be smaller, but their pea brains little rants fail to see the lurking corporate giant that keeps feeding them. But then again, I guess a salad shooter from walmart is more important to them then cheaper meds, quality health care, lower premiums, lower copay, and lower general costs. Or, gasp, a single payer or public option, which actually empowers the average citizen.

I'm waiting for the day when the White House is sponsored by AT&T. "This presidential state of the union speech is brought to you by AT&T, when you talk, we listen".
