The Republican Plan: Destroy The Government, Let Corporations Rule

[GoLeft TV]

Republicans love telling us that the private industry can run things better than the government, and that’s why they work so hard once in office to make sure that the government fails. Failure by design is the only thing the Republicans understand, and they’re doing a great job at it. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. In which case, they would BE the government.

But without those pesky responsibilities to people they don't like.

2. That's what they call fascism. nt

3. TPP-let corporations sue citizens when the citizens object to corporate practices.

4. I'm quite sure the Democratic Party Apparatus approve of that plan as well

It's right down the Third Way's alley ...

5. One problem with corporate rule

is that it would take the country back to 1860. Corporations know that and are perfectly content ruling the country through a majority of elected proxies.

6. If the GOP wins they win. If the GOP breaks gov't they win again.

Unfortunately for sane, honest, moral people, it is a win-win situation for the GOP.

If they're in power - they are in power.

If they break gov't while Dems are in power - then corporations and the GOP win.

Then there is also the "lowest common denominator" American voter who doesn't want to have to think or look into the facts about who they vote for.

Truth is, and it's pretty obvious, is that conservatives have been wrong coming around nearly every corner of history.
