Reply #77: The center of America is far to the left of the Corporate Class that [View All]

[Riverman]

controls the congress, white house and mass media. Most Americans support single-payer when explained what it means for themor at least a strong public option. More to the point, most Americans do not vote, nor are represented in corporate run political polls and are thus discouraged and dispirited from particiating in civic affairs. The corporate media gives the illusion that the country's political center is far to the right! It is in the slef-perceived interests of the corporate class to agressively support the status quo as that system keeps them in their positions. For example, why does a news reader on CBS, NBC or ABC earn millions a year simply to repeat the nonsense they do every night? Who benefits?

Who benefits from so-called "Health Insurance Reform?" I didn't ask for that, I was not asked, I wrote letters, I voted for access to medical treatment for me and my family. I don't want more insurance company decisions placed between us and out doctors. But, I was not asked, nor listened to on this and many issues.

I don't want to be spending my hard-earned tax dollors for foreign wars that benefit the war makers, not the people in those foreign lands or us in the US. I voted to end wars.

I don't want my money to pay for billions in bail-outs and immoral bonus for failed performance of banker and insurance executives. I want that money spent on medical treatment for all, for education for all, for decent housing for all.

I have no doubt that more people in the USA feel as i do than the numbers that make up the corporate class and their employees and supporters.
