1. Of course they can and the GOP is making it happen for them. No government to do things?

Fine, get down on your hands and knees and beg the churches and the corporatons. They'll only require your soul and labor until you die.

Thanks for putting it so clearly. Yet how many are enslaved to the dogma of these two forces already, and will cheer it being done to us all?

2. There are plenty of useful idiots

in the form of tea baggers to cheer them on as they do it.

3. When there is a crash it is a opportunity for large corporations to buy up smaller corporations

struggling with recession/depression all around the world. That is how Trump made his millions - by buying buildings in New York and rock bottom prices.
