It is a great story. That Volkswagon wasn't against unions and were actually

very unhappy with what took place. It is a narrative that should be told and retold.

The GOP rich are like the nazi followers.

They now think they are pure and perfect in their capitalism. They deny that there is both good and bad in capitalism (they don't take resposibility for the financial crisis). Just like nazi followers who thought they were the only good and pure germans. The rich persecute both others previously persecuted, the poor, and persecute new groups (intellectual elite). Just like the Nazi followers persecuted the previously persecuted others (the jews) and the newly persecuted ( intelectual elites). And the GOP leadership attack these others with attacks on governance and unions and funding and support. The others react to these attacks and the GOP leaders get their followers to judge the other on their well ground anger as if the emotion happened in a vacuume and the GOP followers are. the victim of an unprovoked attack. The nazis did the same thing. And there the comparison ends. With what the Nazis set up in the 1930s. Obviously genocide has not occured. But when the CEOs act all upset that they and capitalism are not seen as purely good, it is fair to point out to them that because they think they are the good ones they should remember that the "good germans" in the 1930s were actually the worst germans ever seen. At the very least the GOP and their followers should be asked if capitalism is without fault at every turn. CEOs should be asked that as human beings are they special, or a mixture of strengths and wealnesses like everybody else.

Some food for thought. And why doesn't the GOP let Obama spend on infrastructure? My guess is

they like the employers market where workers are desperate and will vote out unions, reducing wages and increasing profits.

"Why Do You Care How Much Other People Work?"

Why Do You Care How Much Other People Work?

I read Krugman's article and I wonder if the ACA doesn't create so much more in small business owners that its net effect isn't more hours worked. Because people who can now start a small business put in incredible amounts of hours. And they will come from all sorts of employees, not just people who will want to work less. They are simply following their dreams and working more hours. Plus they hire others. Applegrove

With Ted Cruz playing up his crazyness to attract attention and supporters, will

all other GOP Presidential candidates have to go to crazytown on a regular basis? I mean Christie makes doesn't see a problem with inequality today and Rand Paul sues the government. Are we about to see the nuts of nutville go way right for three full years rather than the 1 year that the GOP regretted in 2011/2012. Because the GOP has changed their rules on the nomination race. It may be that the GOP perpetual campaign may really do them in.


Check out this graph at the Washington Examiner:

Chris Christie has some crazy to do.

Thanks for your experience on the front lines with health care. I truly think

the GOP actually dislikes healthcare because it will make the people freer to choose who they work for. They enjoy the current employer's market where people are desperate for work and will take reduced wages. They use the euphemism "inflation" to cover their assholeishness.

But the GOP 1%ers love the missmatch

of skills being tied to an employer gives in giving the increase in productivity to the CEO instead of to the worker if they were to go into business for themselves. CEO like this overqualification in its employes (under qualifieds get fired or layed off). On the aggregate CEOs must make more in bonus money because they have these ‘captured‘ employees. Well not any more

That's part of the aura 'big men' put out around them. Anybody who isn't on the inside

is an 'other' and they need to be constantly attacked, especially by those at the bottom who are not secure in their position or place so will do the dirty work. But you have to 1) make them feel they belong and 2) make them feel insecure. That's how manipulators box you in. They get you coming and going and box you in until your behaviour is exactly what they want. The 'big man's' dreams become the 'little guy's' dreams, so the little guy no longer thinks or dreams for themseves.

We've been assuming that the poverty in the South is something all sides of the political spectrum

want to stop. But what if one side actually wanted desperate and cowed people. What if poverty is the goal of the right.

Don't believe your lying eyes meme. Look at this article. What bullshit. Because

no specific policy paper was written with trickle down in the title it was never a reality? That is what sociopaths do. Force something on people and then when called on it deny their actions, often setting the stage for a new, and completely different, narrative. See the article here:


Thomas Sowell commentary: Trickle-down economics is a figment of liberal imaginations


by Tomas Sowell at the Columbus Dispatch

"SNIP....................................


While there have been all too many lies told in politics, most have some little tiny fraction of truth in them, to make them seem plausible. But the “trickle-down” lie is 100 percent lie.

It should win the contest both because of its purity — no contaminating speck of truth — and because of how many people have repeated it over the years, without any evidence being asked for or given.

Years ago, this column challenged anybody to quote any economist outside of an insane asylum who had ever advocated this “trickle-down” theory. Some readers said that somebody said that somebody else had advocated a “trickle-down” policy. But they could never name that somebody else and quote them.

Mayor de Blasio is by no means the first politician to denounce this non-existent theory. Back in 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama attacked what he called “an economic philosophy” which “says we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else.”
