It is clear from the vote on the Disclose Act, yesterday, that the Republican Party is already owned by billionaires like Sheldon Adelson.
We are in an epic struggle between democracy and a puppet regime run by rich power mongers who are making a monumental push to buy America. It is not socialists who have co-opted the democratic process.....it is free market capitalists.
We are no more of a socialist society today than we have been for the past 50 years. We are, however, more subjected to blatent bribary of politicians......elected officials who have shunned the cognitive process for pre-processed words and actions. They're called republicans.....and it's clear they have no spines, no patriotism and no shame.
We had reached a workable balance between humanitarian socialism and darwinian capitalism....a system built on compromise where everybody benefited in some way. The rich got richer and the ones who didn't were not thrown to the wolves. Now.....the attitude is that unless all manner of capitalism is absolved from responsibility and regulation and all semblences of socialism are erradicated, there can be no effort made to address the problems that face us as a nation.
It is likely that in the near future, the country will have been bought and twisted and systematically ruined by egotistical billionaires. This will be what finally destroys a once great nation......rot from within, predicated on loss of all moral decency, bribary and an Orwellian perspective on how society should serve the Almighty Dollar!
I hope the survivors of this Brave New World enjoy what I prefer to call....Economic Sodomy!

Bend over, right wingers....here comes Sheldon!
