JUSTICE, GREED AND DEMOCRACY

The free enterprise system is the best economic system there is but it has to have regulations or greed will take over.

I have often said that GREED has no conscience; and it seems that the primary driving force that motivates the establishment Republicans is to elevate GREED into a lofty place as a desirable quality of the free enterprise system. 

In this intricate juxtaposition of greed and free enterprise, anything goes the end justifies the means, do whatever you can do to make a profit…and that includes sending jobs abroad and lying off workers in America, closing down plants, attacking labor unions to exact a cheap labor force and buy political influence at any cost.

This is what CONSERVATIVES will tell you is the right thing, the only thing to preserve the capitalist system free from government interference…after all, how dare they? How dare the government place any regulations that constrict and discourage greed?

We have reality hitting us in the face like a 2 X 4 and it tells us that there is going to be a GOP Presidential candidate that actually believes this; Mitt believes that corporations should be more powerful and influential than the general population…by elevating their status, redefining personhood to include business entities that have no brains, conscience or compassion. 

This is what we have to look forward to if the Republicans are successful in selling the country a bill of goods. Oh, sure, they have made great strides…the Koch brothers alone have achieved a great deal of success in influencing politics and even generating an astro-turf type of movement called the Tea Party and even captured some State Houses, Governorships and 2 Senators.

But the American people, those very people that bought into the Teabagger crap soon found out what these GREED driven politicians did once they got into office and the voters soon got buyer’s remorse. The majority of Americans are disgusted with them and in some cases have even thrown them out of office or have efforts going to recall and remove them. 

The Conservative Republicans were also successful in “planting” activist Supreme Court Justices that are loyal to the ideology and philosophy of the Republican Party and that includes recognizing non-human corporations as having the same rights as flesh and bones humans. That in itself is preposterous as the Supreme Court is supposed to be this impartial and fair jurisprudence body that will observe neutrality and will administer and interpret the Constitution impartially and unconditionally. Lady Justice after all is depicted as a fair lady holding a scale and blindfolded…meaning that justice is fair and unencumbered of prejudices and extremist ideology.
