Abstract

Minority Report

The article presents discussion on several different issues and topics in the U.S. of political importance. American lawyer and consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who worked in the U.S. Labor Department for Daniel Patrick Moynihan while writing on the side for "The Nation," has worked quite a lot for the interest of consumers. He is not so much appalled as flat-out bewildered by the reign of money and political action committees (PAC) and "honoraria" and every other element in the carnival of inducement. Foreign funding of political campaigns is outlawed in most democratic countries and very strictly forbidden in the United States. But not apparently by the United States, which claims the right to suborn elections in a country that it has spent ten years reducing to beggary and privation. A compliant and PAC-sodden Congress voted to renew economic sanctions against Nicaragua, which had already voted to ruin by "humanitarian aid."
