NEO-CONSERVATISM MUST DIE!
Chop it's head off, bury it and the body in separate
lead-lined caskets, cover the ground in Holy Water
and garlic, and chain a pitbull to the gravestone.
Ever since the THATCHER/REAGAN/MULRONEY
era, they've been getting everything they want and
look what it's done to our economy.
Shifting the taxbase from multi-billion dollar Corporations onto home owners trying to make ends meet, De-regulation of health & safety standards until recalls of products have become a DAILY OCCURENCE
Trade agreements that export jobs and import shoddy crap, local farms going bankrupt
while produce is trucked cross-country (tying EVERYTHING to the price of oil !!!), etc. etc. etc.
Thanks to this fascist ideology, spread by "don't-Think" tanks like the Fraser Institute, American Free Enterprise Institute, The Heritage Institute, and the IMF, the people who actually spend their money on things that keep the economic wheels turning (not $35,000 antique commodes) have lost their jobs, lost their homes, and lost their dignity. Our infrastructure is crumbling from lack of maintenance, because the 'High Wizards of Finance' thought that money would be better spent propping up the stock market. They didn't want "their"money spent on social programs like health care, yet the worst
leech on the public purse are the Corporations. They are textbook definitions of Psychopaths- completely self-absorbed, putting their interests above the common good, SELFISH beyond belief! They preached "tough love" and "survival of the fittest" until their myopic business philosophy caused the collapse of their cushy empires, and now they're whining for bail-outs. But it's never a CEO's fault - we can't play "the Blame
Game"- it has to be the little guy who shouldn't have taken out a mortage he couldn't afford ( who convinced him it was a safe investment in the first place?), he shouldn't have run up the charges on his credit cards (who pressured him to buy,buy,BUY and then jacked up the interest rates? AND practice what you preach- how many corporations are in difficulty due to debt incurred from buying other companies, hmmm??), he shouldn't have got that cost-of-living raise in his contract ( who gets multi-million dollar bonuses after they've screwed up Royally and then sold the bad debt to the rest of the world, spreading their mistakes further ??). Yet we are expected to swallow that helping the Least among us is "Socialism" and that's BAD, but "you have to pay the Top Dollar to get the Top Talent" ( when ARE we going to see this talent ?) is "Entrepreneurism" and that's GOOD. I am no proponent of China or Communism, but they actually execute their white-collar criminals and look at their economy !!! Perhaps if North America were to take a tip from the French Revolution, and a few well-coiffed heads were to roll, we wouldn't need Trillion-dollar bailouts, and
there would be enough prosperity for all.
