Immortal Technique "Rich Man's World (1%)" [Arthur Jensen:] "You get up and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies The world is a college of corporations inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business The world is a business And I have chosen you to preach this evangel."
