Thread Name: BS: Can we afford Democracy?
Subject: RE: BS: Can we afford Democracy?
"Entitlement" is a myth. Workers have earned the benefits by hard labor.

Corporate bosses have not earned their keep for the amount of money they make.

When the US decides to treat its citizens with respect and dignity honoring hard work and concern for others, then it might be the greatest country in the world.
But the GOP is keeping that from ever happening. We are #88 on the index of the most peaceful countries in the world with the largest prison system housing more prisoners than other countries.

Corporate fusing with government=fascism. Look it up!

By definition, Romney is a fascist. He is attempting to take over government
as a corporate leader and has defined "vulture capitalism" with his association
with Bain.

We can afford democracy if we:
1. Break up the banks
2. Let small banks be competitive by offering lower interest rates on credit cards.
    5% interest would stimulate consumer spending.
3. Curb the Pentagon and its expenses.
4. Stop the drone strikes which vitiates any moral authority we have in the world.
5. Get rid of the "austerity" program that the GOP and corporate cronies want to
    foist on us.
6. Raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour.
7. Glass-Steagal would separate the banks from being gambling casinos.
8. Close Git-Mo and restore Habeas Corpus
9. Vote the GOP out of office since they are wrecking our economy.
10. Get rid of the myth of "me first" that the Libertarians are offering as a solution.
11. Oh yes, government regulation to protect us from Libertarianism.
12. Tax the rich corporations and CEO's.
