scrapyard so much better to have than freely available heath care, social security, and books? You don't want to be like the other developed nations do you?
Well if you ask the likes of Rush and Bortz yea, we might need all that rotting stuff, but don't dare give a hungry family any food.
The military industry and oil industry don't want to change this. I do. The corporate goons have my own sister believing that "Obamacare" is going to raise health care costs. Well yea, the same way gas prices go up even though they don't have to. Blackmail the rest of us into submission.
They think the rest of us cant tell the difference between "I cant" and when what these goons really should say is "I don't want to".
I think the biggest reason for global instability and conflict are 3 industries. Oil, military and weapons. Scare the shit out of everyone and you can control them quite easily with sectarian issues such as politics and religion.
And the truly evil thing they use to keep the status qoe is that they hijack words like "freedom" and "free market" and hold them hostage and lie thinking we on the left hate business.
