Tom DeLay is unamerican. What else can explain his willingness to put the interests of big business before those of the people. America was founded in a large part to escape the tyranny of the oppressor. It looks to me like DeLay was born about 300 years too late, and on the wrong side of the Atlantic.
The DeLay phenomenon is sensational, yet it is just the tip of a large insidious ice berg that has floated into Washington DC in the last dozens or so years.
America needs a thorough house cleaning of our governmental structures and systems. Are we going to have one?
It remains to be seen, whether the current system of checks and balances will suffice to prevent the full erosion of the rights of the people and the land. The tide of of corporate sway is high, and the current will be strong.
It may be that the corporate titan and the plutocratic society which reigns over it will simply have to spell its own eventual destruction.
With corporatism, our economy is being destroyed via the outsourcing overseas of jobs, be they labor, r & d, even service sector jobs are moving out. The only thing that isn't moving out, or moving to minimum wage type jobs are ownership and management positions.
ReplyDeleteWhat effect will this trend have on our economy?
If the trend is allowed to continue, it will mean the steady erosion of the middle class, a swelling of the lower class and an upper class which will rely more and more on fear and violence to subdue and quell the masses.
