The Social COntract is an American democratic pholosophy of we the people binding together for the common good and our common defense.

The contract used to be the soul domain of the King. The King decided who got what and who would lose it.
Then in the Indeustrial revolution and Gilded Age the new kings were the wealthy aristocrats, monopolies and political machines.

Today we are looking at the tail end of a 80 to 100 year struggle to have the social contract to fairly pay and care for our citizens.
A livable wage and affordable health care is what has been on the table.



Opponents of the social contract are naturally those who feel they stand to lose something by have the people get any justice and legally mandated entitlements. Yep I used the very words that are being demonized by the likes of Beck and Palin. Social Justice, Entitlements, Unemployment Insurance, Assistence etc.

IF the killers of the social contract can get get people to believe that being respondsible for one self is the real issue, they are halfway to repealing any assistence for the masses. This would give large sums of the AMerican pie to big owners, big banks, big corporations and big liars. THey wanted to give Social Security to Wall street for decades now.


The push for privatization of America can only be complete if the people are fully owned by owners without any hope of independent assistence from the goverment. Republicans are just the big mouth for corporate snake oil



There are talking heads and the are talking twats. Among the twats is Sarah Palin who is big on self repondsibility while wanting subsidies for big oil.
Palin is clearly against the social contract

The rest of the right wing think tank machine is about isolating Obama as the alien enemy. Now with a Republican prosecutor ISSA in power watch for the worst to happen. The attacks will so that a 5th grader will get mad


I for one want to keep and refine the social contract. We used to be able to afford it. After the biggest theft of the Treasury in history there will be those who will say we can never afford it again.

We afforded a military 10 bigger than all military "spending" combined. Certainly spending does not equate with bigger or better.
The coming cuts should be deep enough to make old man McCain cry himself to sleep.

The social contract rings loud and clear in our Declartion of Independence and our Constitution. Just because the SUpreme Court says we the people means Corporations, who are you going to believe, them our you own eyes.
