Republicans Hate The Middle Class and Labor The attack on government, (along with labor and the middle class,) began in the early 1980's with Ronald Reagan. "The nine words that I fear the most are 'I'm with the government, and I'm here to help.'" Of course, after Reagan delivered this line on a few occasions, it was always followed by chuckles from his audience. But what was Reagan and his conservative movement really saying? They were saying they don't believe in government. How do you expect them to govern then? We need only look back to hurricane Katrina and to see how a government which can't govern, reacts to a national crisis. Or take for example, the thwarted attack on Social Security, for a "privatized" system, that no matter how you crunched the numbers, did nothing to address any short falls the system may encounter in 40 years. All that scheme really proposed was an attempt by anti-government, anti-democratic conservatives, to "shrink government down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." as conservative brain, Grover Norquist stated. It always seems to boil down to the private sector and the free market will cure all. Our founders created a government that was of the people, by the people, for the people. We, as a collective whole, decide that it is in our best interest as a society, to have certain programs that benefit society. Conservatives want to call such things "socialism." Things like the socialist Social Security system, like the socialist public education system, like socialist police departments, like the socialist fire departments, like the socialist military. Oops, wait, the military is ok. The mistake that many Liberals and Progressives make, is to focus their wrath on George W. Bush. In essence making an unpopular president the fall guy for a movement that started over 40 years ago. The true enemy of democracy and freedom is the conservative agenda. It's bigger then any single Republican extremist that draws the ire of the masses. It's about a movement that doesn't believe in democracy. It doesn't believe in rule by the people. It believes in rule by multinational corporations. It believes in a Aristocracy. Wealth and power to the few, as the rest of us become serfs to their accumulating monopolies. The Republicans/conservatives don't serve the best interest of the public as a whole. Try to find 1 law introduced by Republican's that has served the benefit of the people and not corporations in the past 10 years. These traitors to democracy don't believe in our system of government. They are the same corporate royalists that took arms against the insurgent colonists in the Revolutionary War. There agenda is not new. These are the people that so incompetently run or government today. Remember, you can't govern if you don't believe in government. The Republican's and conservatives don't believe in government. |
