The Obscenely Wealthy Are Who Receives Benefits of Privatization of Business.
The question of who ultimately receives the benefits of privatization as related to corporate world interest is a very easy question to answer if one is familiar with the ownership and control of the largest multinational corporations and how that affects all worldwide relations.
To Know Who Really Benefits From Privatization is to Reevaluate Public Interests.
Potential for privatization exists in every industry in the United States, from education and health care, to social security, highways, and water.
The Bechtel Corporation, based in San Francisco, holds the rights to the public water system in one of Bolivia’s most populous cities.
Who Benefits From Privatization, Corporate Owners or Citizens?
Who benefits from privatization of a nation's water supply, electricity, or other utilities?
The United Nations answers that question by saying that human beings have a fundamental right to clean and safe drinking water, and therefore, privatization should benefit all citizens.

The US Housing Bubble Crisis, its Profiteers and Victims.
With the burst of the US housing bubble, more things than the housing market are in trouble.
Our economy is in trouble because the federal government forced banks to lend to people who did not have the money or credit to afford a home.
While it is a sad thing for people to lose their homes, it is worse when they cry “foul” when they are the ones who knowingly took out the loans.
The US Intelligence Budget Has Stagnated at Around $47 Billion But Americans Are Under Closer Surveillance by More Government Operatives Than Ever Before.
If you believe Michael McConnell, the director of U.S. National Intelligence, the US intelligence budget in 2008 stood at $47 billion, which was minimally up on expenditure in 2007, which was about $44 billion.
It was the first time that the intelligence community had been forced to reveal its budget since 1998.
The US Government Postal Service Should Not Be a Monopoly.
The United States Postal Service, or USPS, has been around since Benjamin Franklin created it in Philadelphia in 1775.
It serves a great, noble, and extremely useful service and so there is no reason to disband it.
However, it also enjoys a monopoly, enforced by government, on all postal mail that is considered “non urgent” and that is not a package.
