It isn't this country, it is the 62 uber billionaires worldwide setting the global tone of greed. I've mentioned it before, but on CSPAN a few months ago I watched an international press conference interviewing the Chinese Premier, and he used the same economic right wing bullshit excuse our GOP does here "Now is not the time to raise taxes on the rich".
"Conservative" isn't a boarder issue, it is a class issue. "Conservative" isn't a political issue, it is a class issue. It is the same worldwide, a money class, and everyone else.
That is why I hate the misuse of the word "capitalism" as if it is a form of government. It is not. There is not one government in the world that does not invest in the global market, friend and foe alike. There are only more open markets and more strictly controlled markets. There are parties that monopolize the wealth, or a family that monopolizes the wealth, or a class. But all of them are forms of monopolies.
America is still better off, yes, but it is a race to the bottom for us and we will end up looking like China or India,s sweat shop poverty wage market if we allow our GOP to continue to control the narrative.
