THEY THINK YOU’RE STUPID

America is being bought and sold to the New Tycoons. The Supreme Court, with the Citizens United decision, has given free rein to the uber wealthy to purchase our government for their own benefit — and the 1% is moving quickly to exercise their new freedom to shape our nation to line their own pockets.

It is no longer “One person, one vote” and has become “One dollar, one vote.”

The old adage, “Never let a crisis go to waste” is in full force! The economy has been on life support due to small-government and trickle-down economics, and the GOP and their financiers are using the fear in the electorate to convince voters that it was big-government and debt that caused the economic melt-down.

“Look over here at the shiny object,” the Right sings out, “your problems are caused by liberal ideas,” because they don’t want us to be informed and make decisions based in FACTS. And the way they “sell and market” that idea? With MONEY!

Voters can stand up, become informed and armed with FACTS, and see clearly that the ideology being sold to the public by the few does not benefit our society as a whole. I’m no longer sure that even they believe their ideology … it seems to just be a marketing vehicle to garner votes.

Think about it: If you give me lower taxes than you pay and give me the freedom to regulate myself without interference from you, then you will reap the benefits. That’s trickle-down economics and small-government in a nutshell.

What they’re selling, we already bought and tried … it failed miserably and gave us our current economic conditions. The world is now desperately trying to bail out of this mess, while the GOP House of Representatives refuses to do anything to get our economy kick-started.

Their working idea seems to be that if they can keep the President from being able to do anything to grow our economy, then the American voter will blame him and give the reins of government back to the GOP and Wall Street — and maybe, just maybe trickle-down and small-government will work this time!
