(854 posts)In the next election, people can vote for a mixed race Black man who has been working very hard to do the right thing and do a good job, or we can vote for a super wealthy, out of touch white guy who is a liar and a tax cheat.
Romney has a master's degree in money making, an MBA, like George W. They specialize in transferring money from the masses to the few (citizens to corporations, customers to owners, suckers to wall street bankers, etc.), and like other recent Republicans and based on his own history, I would expect Romney to continue doing exactly that.
As Thom Hartmann pointed out in "Skrewed," history shows that democracy requires a strong middle class. By weakening the middle class, Republicans are weakening democracy. I have no reason not to believe that a group of big money persons and corporations seek to install single party rule, primarily using Republicans to get there. We the People versus corporations and big money really is a very serious battle and a very current battle.
