If the puppet masters of the Right didn't perceive weakness in this Administration, these attacks
on Acorn (success thanks to compliant Democrats), Planned Parenthood, and now Labor would not be happening. Boehner and McConnell are useful idiots. So what, they succeeded in getting nearly $800 BILLION in tax cuts for their masters, they will never share in that windfall. The Koch brothers and the rest of the Reich-wing cabal aren't idiots. They've waited a long time to pull off this trifecta, and if they succeed, we become marginalized just like we did in the 80's only with far worse consequences.


We're marching back to the 50's faster than you can say 'huh'.


That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

3. Elected Democrats are complicit in what's happening.
Whether it's through weakness or whether it's what they truly desire is seemingly up for debate.

I, for one, think it's become crystalline that most elected Democrats want these things to occur and are simply putting on a show for the masses for corporate benefit. Oh, can't forget, for their OWN self serving interests as well. It's shocking how much money "our" representatives make in the private sector after serving the interests of Wall Street over those of their constituents.

The very few that don't (or can't in good conscience) serve Wall Street's interests over the people don't end up with the big bucks.
