Haitian Economy is the Blueprint for Future USA [View all]

[Octafish]

A repost from DU2 (note the familiar contempt for those who merely implied 1% would own 99% of USA):



Here's what awaits We the People of the United States:

In Haiti, one percent of the population own 99-percent of the property.

We're not there yet, but close enough to see where things are going.

In 2003, then-Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide planned to tax the elite on their wealth. So, he got bounced by Power -- a coup backed by "Baby Doc" Bush.

Raising taxes. Hah! Like if that could ever happen here.

BTW: The first time Aristide got bounced by Power, he was working to deliver political and economic justice, including getting Haiti's generals out of narcotrafficking business. No wonder Poppy Doc Bush, Jesse Helms and the rest of the ultraright did all they could to help the Haitian generals and the elite they serve. They've devoted their professional careers to bringing the same economic and social conditions to the United States.
