Quote from Warren Buffet, the Oracle of Omaha: "My class is winning. But it shouldn't be."
It does seem very strange how those who basically support the interests of corporations can rally the voters, especially the right-wing, the mostly uneducated, and the very definitely Fundamentalist Christians to go along with giving corporate welfare to oil companies and call unemployment benefits and a minimum wage "evil socialism." But when you only get your news from Rupert Murdoch controlled media like Faux News and the Chicago Tribune. . . .
The same folk seem to knock "socialism," while telling the government to keep its hands off Social Security benefits (especially if they are elderly). Social Security is apparently not socialism.
Neither are public roads, public schools, the military, the courts, the prison system, police, fire, rescue services, etc. etc.
In the interest of throwing out all the evil socialist ideas, lets throw those socialist programs out too, for they are indeed socialist (taking money from everyone to finance a military service, or a public school, &c.) Let's have corporations do what government fails at, because they are so much better at it (Cash for Kids scandal in the Pennsylvania court system, selling the Chicago Skyway to a Spanish company, &c.)
The Republicrats (that would be the Republicans and the Democrats) are actually two sides of the same wooden nickel. It was once argued in a political campaign "it's the economy, stupid," and neither party cares about that. And yet one party seems to keep harping on the idea of a "partnership between business and government for the good of the nation." That is the definition of fascism, a method of government which has always proven to protect the liberties and interests of citizens in the past.
