It is a viral and visceral repulsion from the majority of the American people that rejects this status quo of 1% owning and controlling everything.
Perhaps it is because that 99% is not as dumb as the Republican-Teahadists thought they were, the indications are there that they are not and it seems that more and more people are realizing that they have been taken for a ride, they have been taken advantage of and most of all they exist for the pleasure and convenience of the top 1% who owns the wealth and the power and those under them have to keep quiet and accept their misfortunes.
I do get all upset whenever I hear these right wing idiots describe America as this isolated, idyllic place where you have the best, the biggest, the nicest everything. It is a false sense of superiority. Amazingly, America has been falling behind in many areas where we should be leading the civilized world. Health Care is one of them…it is because we insist in having insurance companies who are only the middle man and exist only to skim the profits while serving no purpose or performing a service…they are true parasites.
Then you have the overblown military that has been thriving forever in the minds of these war hawks and they use scare tactics to convince the American people that they should pay taxes to maintain the biggest military-industrial complex the world has ever seen.
It goes equally appropriate to assess our nuclear armaments program where we have a thousand fold more nuclear weapons than it is needed and when we know full well that only three or four explosions of this nature would bring our world to its demise. But the right keeps insisting on bombing other nations that have done nothing to us and even suggesting that nuclear weapons should be used in places like Iran.
All of the Presidential candidates in the GOP with the exception of Huntsman abdicate a pre-emptied attack on Iran. Some want us to get involved in yet another war that is yet not paid for.
From the Communist outfit “THE RED PHOENIX” – Yes, Communist as in Marxist, pinko Socialist…but I read these as I also read Bill O’Reilly and others on the right to see if I can find any reason and make any sense of it.
“It is worth noting that violence and exploitation are also not limited to outside the US borders, either. Of all western nations, the US has the greatest income inequality. 40% of the wealth is controlled by 1% of the population. The US has the greatest discrepancy in the world between the wealthy and the poor when it comes to health care, and also when it comes to life expectancy.
Finally, the Land of the Free has the highest number of its population in prison than any other state in the world (2). And all this is without mentioning the minute details of the oppressive structure of the class society as it exists for us every day. These sorts of atrocities will continue until this capitalist system is done away with through struggle and revolution in the US”.
As a Cuban exile that saw my country ravished, destroyed and left in ruins by the Communists, I have a visceral repulsion of anything Communist; but when I read something like this I ask myself if we are not setting ourselves up for a massive revolution that would destroy America just like it did the land of my birth.
