You can brush off the idea that America is run by corporations, but consider this fact: the money corporate America spends on lobbyists is now more than the combined salaries of all the members of Congress, in both houses.
The power of corporations is examined in the new documentary film "The Corporate Coup D' Etat," which gets a screening this week (November 6th) at Southern Oregon University.
Jeff Cohen is one of several producers of the film, which makes the case for a slow-motion corporate coup that a lot of people missed. Jeff Cohen visits The Exchange to talk about the film, its contents, and the reaction to it.
