2084: A View of What the Future Will Be Like If ConservaRepubs Get and Maintain Control
This is important. People need to understand what the ConservaRepubLitarian goals would achieve. This is a glimpse into exactly that. Subscribe. Share it with friends and tell them to subscribe. If you thought Orwell's 1984 was scary, look at the Conservatives 2084 holds for America:
The year is 2084. Corporations are people. As a matter of fact, they can even run for office as the election of President Morgan Sachs, Inc. demonstrates.
Unions are illegal. The "Big Oppressive Government" of the past is long gone, having been conquered by the Freedom Fathers - the Conservative equivalent of the Founding Fathers. The Freedom Fathers created a True Free Market, thus insuring the greatest level of freedom for both employers and employees.
Over time, they eliminated the heavy-handed federal regulatory agencies that destroyed America: The EPA, FDA, USDA, NRC and so on, are all gone. Now in states like Texas, Governor Perry Richards and the CPO (Chief Political Officer) of the oil company Senator Texxon Phillips, get to decide the safety standards for power plants and oil rigs.
Wages have not gone up in forty years. One in two people have some form of cancer. America has the third lowest life expectancy rate in the world. But most Americans still believe they in the greatest country in the world. Contrary to the propaganda put out by the Liberal World Media, WOLF News is Free of Bias and "Daddy Bob" O'Hara sets the record straight.
This is the story of young Thomas Paine Jr..
His father is a patriot whose every opinion coincides with WOLF News. His mother has ideas that disagree and are often disturbing since it is legal for the government to listen in on every form of communication.
Young Thomas is engaged in activities that could cause his whole family to be put on the No-Fly-Drive List or worse, disappear like so many do, to be transported to one of the privately run, harsh-interrogation prisons in Git-Mo, Texas or Arizona. Thomas is doing something much more subversive than just accessing screens from the Liberal World Media (LWM) or other sites.
But Young Thomas has started down a path of knowledge that has him unable to stop, no matter what the risks.

(6,200 posts)Is that Obama is in a position, within the next four years to elect new Supreme Court judges who overturn the ruling of Corporate Personhood.
The interesting check and balance to this scenario is lawyers. Lawsuits, especially class-action lawsuits, against corporations that do things that cause sickness and death will be the norm. In fact, it may be the main way that Americans have money.
