Major corporations that join big government in an effort to control and manage and tax the economy, energy, healthcare and the climate are the true enemies of Americans' freedoms and liberties.

Shell Oil is a major corporate player that has eagerly turned to this dark side, literally betraying its customers, individuals and small businesses with its support of 'cap & trade'. To see how the Shell CEO rationalizes this type of behavior, read the article - it's excellent.
