Ridiculous poll question, with even more ridiculous choices between two NO answers.

The actual fact-based answer is YES!

Corporations own the government of America, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the global market-state). The government owned by the corporate entities serves to police the people, and that is why corporations control the policing of the public.

The reason corporations own the government is that corporations have long owned 99% of the voters... all those who have voted for the corporate party's (R)s and (D)s.

______________________________

petition of protest:

something most often signed by people who voted for Democrats, so they'd have plenty of policies to protest

an inadequate number of people's signatures collected, in a delusional attempt to persuade corporate party installed politicians to do some good, after the 99% has provided a massive — effectively unanimous — popular vote mandate to only have more (R) & (D) evil done

political demonstrations:

events corporate party operatives organize to dissipate dissent, and moderate movements

something mostly attended by people complaining about getting what they either voted for, or refused to vote against

places where "progressives" predate, hunting for the weak minded and weak willed, to turn dissenters into Democrat assenters

progressive coalition:

a collaboration that moves dissidents' politics away from the Left, progressively further and further on into the Right

With much of national security privatized...... we can now be certain of perpetual national insecurity. In other words privatization of national security is totally incompatible with a peaceful and secure nation. Peace and security would render these private companies obsolete. We know by past experience with the military industrial complex that perpetual war and terror even if it has to be manufactured is always the case.

True peace and security will never be allowed to exist or stand in the way of the massive out of control spending that military industrial lobbyist groups help foment. Privatized national security is just another sad example of what disaster capitalism has brought us.

We the tax payers have a right to know who all the owners of these private companies are, what background checks indicate about their past history, and how much of our money is going into their dirty little hands.

We the tax payers need to be certain that folks running these companies have never been involved in record setting Medicare/Medicaid fraud, been caught being a public nuisance by soliciting for airport bathroom sex, have never outed a CIA agent, etc.......stuff that makes one unfit to be involved in any kind of tax supported public service that requires the public trust.
