Thread Name: BS: US Corporate Fascism vote Friday.
Subject: BS: US Corporate Fascism vote Friday.
When Corporations are owned by the government it is called Corporate Fascism, which is the Mussolini style of fascism. Some may go so far to call the US on a course of National Socialism the Nazi form, especailly when you take into account the Patriot Laws, softening of the Constitution and secret policing of all telephone calls and computer use/among other things like torture etc..
The Treasury Secretary urges Congress to vote this Friday to have the US government own the Financial sector of the economy. Tweak it one way and it may be a good thing but tweak it another and pure Corporate Fascism results.
The RUSH to give a trillion dollars to Wall Street/Government while doubling inflation for us all, is a result of living beyond our means and the 'Conservative model' of privatized economics. [i am not speaking of conservatives]
Unregulated, unethical non transparent/secret lies ways of stealing money has brought an end of an era. The Biggest criminal is the Federal Reserve that creates money by printing money takes your wealth by the proxy of inflation.
WE HAVE A CHANCE [a slim one] TO WAGE A REVOLUTION at the crux of this takeover of the United States of America. The people have demands and must write their representatives at this paramount point in history.
I am not qualified to know what the most effective and realistic demands should be, but I do resist Corporate Fascism getting America's seed money for the next 20 years.
Some of you pundits should let us know what and how we can make this crises part of our revolution and fulfill the needs of the people instead of bolstering the Bush fascist free for all business as usual.
What Paulson proposes includes oversight over the trillion, BUT he also demands that no part of the trillion dollars be subject to judicial overview. THE COURTS CAN"T TOUCH THEM no matter what they do with it.
whew now thats over the top.
We all need to write or email someone in Washington cuz this goes beyond serious. I watched 4 hours of hearings today but more about that later.
