Hey wait a minute...I am. I am an ultra moderate, right wing, revolutionary pacifist. Like the elitist power structure of this country...somebody else can do the fighting and dying...for my goals and benefit. Oh...and huge profits. To respect the OP. The future of America, I have touched on it. America is on its slow march to complete capitalist fascism. Let's take Obamacare as the latest rendition. It is NOT health care reform as we define real reform. It is the forcing of those not providing a profit in their need for health care...to pay one, or be fined for not doing so. It is forcing, yes forcing those that didn't, to pay for their care somehow. Let's dissect this. Real health care reform would have been a single payer (govt.) health insurance for all. Everybody pays a premium to the govt....everybody gets health care. No, that doesn't sit well with the profiteers because we all know, there couldn't be the profits we have now. Stick with me here. Let's gain a little perspective with a perfect example. Starting with FDR's first act on banking...he closed them. The 'people' acting wisely were making a run on the entire banking system. Imagine if you will, lenders could not get their money from the borrowers. by force of govt. (not surprising, FDR being from a banking family, uncle Freddie being on the off-shore incognito group that schemed on and composed the charter of the federal reserve only about 20 years prior) The banking act of 1933 was real banking reform. In whose interest was this reform ? Need I tell you ? It created that single-payer (govt.) insurance for who...the bankers. Now the elitists had their national insurance entitlement. That's true capitalist fascism and removed forever the idea that America was a free market. BTW it has been about 90 years of unmitigated lies and propaganda mostly from the right, that the New Deal was some socialist act of creating a welfare state...for the people. They are right, it did create a welfare state but for...the profiteers, a capitalist/corporate welfare state. There is a book out there yet to be written on this subject. But that's your future, America.
