Back To The Basics
I was taught that there are three pillars to a solid, vibrant economy: business, labor and government. What has happened? Labor unions have been destroyed, government has been bought by corporations, and big business has elevated itself to a position of absolute control (if not heartless tyranny) in the form of a corporate kleptocracy raiding the Treasury and impoverishing the citizenry.

Ax and Spend
The Republicans are relentless in pursuing their policy of “Ax and Spend” . . . ax all of the social programs out of the federal budget and spend the money they save on their cruel self-serving tax policies on yachts and jewelry. Makes sense if you are a selfish traitor who thinks justice and fairness should be “off the table”. Continue reading →
