Reply #67: Public wants an end to the wars -- and MEDICARE FOR ALL .. where are the guarantees there?

[defendandprotect]

None -- as long as we have elected officials who are working for corporations --

Who's to say that the Elites won't let our whole infrastructure collapse --

Or that they'll bother themselves about making sure our drinking water is clean --

Or that they won't completely dismantle not only the Dept of Education but the EPA --

What you're saying is we are at the mercy of corporations --

Corporate/fascism -- and I think most of us agree with you.


The answer isn't to ignore what should be getting done . . . like re-regulating capitalism

and taxing the rich -- overturning the trade agreements and passing MEDICARE FOR ALL

and ENDING THE WARS -- the answer is to do as much as we possibly can while we work on ending

corporate fascism.


The game-playing of one state out-bidding another state on tax cuts and breaks for elites/

corporations has to come to an end -- there should be penalities on states which engage

in those practices. It's a downward spiral that no one can be proud of -- and none of us

want for our children. Downward spirals offer no future for anyone -- except corporations.


Taxing the rich is a serious issue and it has to be taken seriously --

I can tell you that almost 20 years ago then Gov. Mario Cuomo of NY, commenting on the

situation of decreasing taxes on elites/corporations said -- and it was shown on C-span --

"that if we wanted to raise taxes on elites now we'd have to call out the national guard."


That's yet more proof that what we have in America is far from a democracy --

it's corporate fascism and it should concern all of us --
