CAPITALISM IS NO LONGER the parentage we all grew up with in the 40s-60s.The one that gave rise to the middle class standards of living which became defined as the American Dream.
Instead, one may say that America is becoming a Capitalistic Socialist nation. The combining of pure authoritarian communism and the power and capital of capitalism. This was the famous writer Jack London‘s fear back in the early 1930s just before he perished of alcoholism.
When has a corporation ever been run like a democracy? Never! The CEO is the dictator authoritarian in charge, the upper management is the stalag, and the share holders are the Soviet Politburo. The workers (the masses) are the peasant class exploited for their cheap labor, skills, capital and anything of value.
Big Government is only as big as the corporate elite make it. The United States government is the best government big money can buy! Forget about Left vs. Right, Government is owned, run and paid for by corporate America thank to electioneering contributions.
Why do you think Democratic or Republican administrations put ex-corporate CEOs and Fortune 700 business giants into postions of authority for all of its beaurocratic Departments.
Government is created by the corporate elite to do its dirty work, passing well-disguised legislation to benefit the rich at the little man’s expense, and to also give us, the American people the illusion of a party vs party system of democracy! A dog and pony show the puppeteer puts on while controlling both Left and Right with its dueling ideologies.
It seems more and more with each generation that the uber wealthy are the real threat to all mankind, freedom and democracies everywhere. The super rich want to combine Capitalism and Socialism to create an American Plutocracy, an Oligarchy run by the wealthiest segements who pass legislation beneficial only to them and their corporation that all the rest of us must endure and live meager lives by.
Hardly in the best interest of the struggling masses and upon a closer look bares no resemblance to freedom or democracy for those left in the outskirts of civil decency to fend for themselves.
Yet, scanning a Democracy, a Republic or a pure Autocratic Totalitarian state, one thing can be counted on as certain. The men with the money are always wrapped in a flag and deemed democratically free, and without restraint to continue their plundering and amassing.
All of the above can be said and BE TRUE without giving up on Tea Party values.
This realization makes a patriotic American very sad.
