12. I really think after JFK was murdered, corporate influence became the dominant force on Capitol Hill

A lot of corporate interests stood to lose billions if Kennedy had stuck to his pledge to pull out all remaining combat troops in Viet Nam by 1965. I consider his death to be a herald of where the US would head in the future decades, and the future is an ugly place. The America that FDR and progressives built is gone. Nader's time was numbered after Kennedy and other leaders were removed through violent force.
