So Corporate America is doing well but not investing in the US.....And this is WHOSE fault?

[Armstead]

I am so fucking sick of right-wing whack jobs and Corporate CONservatives and Weenie Democrats driving the overriding message and agenda.

"Stealth" Liberal isn't working. The Tea Party Right and Corporate Oligarchs and Democratic "centrists" have wrecked this country (and the world)over the last 30 years. The massive Scam of "free trade globalization," ruthless business ethics, deregulation, privatization..etc. are the core reason the economy is not working for the majority.

But who gets blamed in the public mind? Liberals and "big government."

For example, the economy is skunked for most individuals and mid-sized and small businesses. But according to CNBC's Maria Bartolomeo (spelling?) Corporate America is making profits and either sitting on their money or investing it overseas.

And what is the "solution" to the economy according to her and her com-padres? We have to give the corporate sector even MORE. We must placate the poor beleaguered "business community" by giving them more of what caused the economic problems in the first place.

It's fucking crazy.

Why is this happening? Part the reason is the effectiveness of right-wing CONservatives to hit some kind of primal chord in too many in the population. Part of it is the shallowness of the media, and their willingness to regurgitate their spin.

But a big reason is the stupidity and timidity of our side. We try avoid making people think that any policy is -- God forbid -- a Liberal one. Therefore we give up before we start on issuer after issue. Much of it is due to the lack of backbone -- or lack of principles -- of too many Democratic politicians. There are many worthy exceptions to that among Democrats. But those worthy exceptions have to fight an uphill battle against their own party.

Don't get me wrong. I believe in balance, a healthy mix of the principles of conservatism and liberalism (and socialism).

But we have allowed the country to shift so far to the right over the last 30 years that we have to fight and be strident just to get back to the real middle.

We're not doing that, and we're losing to a caveman philosophy and combination of idiot Teabaggers and transparently selfish and greedy Corporate Overlords.

1. It's Corporate World, not Corporate America

The mega corporations that are doing well have no loyalty or real ties to the US. Many of them don't even pay US taxes. They have relocated to other parts of the world and have willingly trashed the US in the goal of profits.

They are not part of us. They rule us by capturing the US government.
