In Case You Missed This... Like I Did... Wow... Just Wow... Sherrod Brown Ain't Lying...

21. ? Actually Timmy the Killer wrote a plan to make Bank$ter/donors richer, and they told

Bank$ter/donors they better take it, or else. Then they let 4 more million FAMILIES fall into foreclosure and about 8 million more people into poverty, about 30 million more into near poverty, cut money to states for various programs, cut money to higher ed and ran the student loans bills up, nearly stopped hiring at a Federal level (which is about the only place a black person can count on being looked at for more than their color, eh?, so it really screwed them).

(It's all detailed in Timmy's missive "Stress Test", at your favorite book depository. And laughed at by voters during Killer's interview on Jon Stewart's show. )

Then, because we were no longer paying those bills and investing in ourselves, they paraded the decrease in our deficit around as if it is a good thing. Notice how many new people are hurting just to keep the wealthy healthy. The people might as well be in bondage, because the opportunities to leave that have been stripped away for other people's profit.

This is nothing more than a plantation for tens of millions of Americans and newly arrived people, and it is going to be for at least the next three generations. And that's a shitty thing to do to your neighbors, even if you do get some insurance for ten million of them - a hundred million are permanently injured.

So the question above - who do give your allegiance to? - is the same as it has always been. Your neighbor. You want to work with each other to make sure you both do well. Because an injury to one is an injury to all. Our choice is not which party, but between servitude and freedom.

The arguments about power notwithstanding, the day one gives their allegiance to a party instead of their neighbor is the day they choose servitude over freedom.
