I'm thankful for the corporations that built and operated the boats that took my mother and grandmother from Europe to America in 1943, saving them from certain death in a socialist government's death camps, and for the corporations that provided the food, clothing and shelter for my family once they did reach the safety of the United States. I'm thankful for the corporations that gave my family, still in a state of shock from having watched the all-powerful central governments of Europe slaughter their loved ones, an opportunity to start a new life here and reach levels of prosperity that would have never been possible in the killing fields of Europe. And I am thankful for the corporations that have done nothing more than given me an opportunity to become the 1%, without regard to what the socialist governments did to my parents and their families in Europe.
