First of all, large corporations make millions of dollars collecting, trading, and selling the American People's, credit, banking, andother personal information.
While large corporations have been running over the personal privacy right's of the American People for years, now they think they require special privledge in having their information held in confidence.
Sharing this information and making it available to the public and other regulatory bodies for review should be a requirement of participating in businesses that involve our Nation's Critical Infrastructure, period. It's a free country, nobody is forcing them to participate, they can sell their business(es) to someone that wants to play by the rules.
Another example of why we so desperately need Campaign Finance Reform in this country. We love to regulate and control indvidual behaviour, and enforce it with more prisons and police. Spending taxpayer money regulating Big Business, is considered Big Government. The Bush administration wants Government out of the business of regulating Big Business, but doesn't mind regulating a woman's reproductive system.
I wish us luck!
