If too big to fail and mandated purchase of health insurance and failed cap and trade and no action in Copenhagen and a never ending war on Terror and lobbyists speaking louder than citizens and lack of equal rights for same sex couples … doesn’t drive us to revolt, what will?
Things will be better after the revolution. But when is the revolution?
The Great Melting Pot is beginning to be the Great Boiling Over Pot. Frustration over failed policies and failed attempts at fixing failed policies has gone beyond simmer to near boiling and no one is watching the pot. I welcome a revolution. The tyranny of taxation without representation has now been replaced by the tyranny of the Corporate State.
We needn’t have feared that our President was a Nazi or Communist or Socialist. We needn’t have feared that Banks would fail or that Derivatives would be illegal, nor that Insurance companies would be driven from existence, since we are all supporters of Corporatism.
Corporatism and their lobbyists have played other special interest groups with fear and money. They have convinced many Americans that Corporations need to rule the land. They use money as puppet strings both for our elected officials and for leaders of special interest groups like Tea Partiers. Wake up America and throw off the shackles and strings and vote for what is best for us as a nation, not what is best for our corporations.
I have said over and over again recently that I am tired of hearing these words: “it’s the best we can get” and/or “we should take what we can get”, as if we need to have our demands met with a doling out of favors from our elected public servants. How long will we grovel for what we want instead of voting for those who support what we want. When we ask we are not asking of our elected officials, we are asking of ourselves. We don’t need their approval, we need their compliance to our demands.
Peace,
Mike Baldwin
