http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/04/16/967480/-The-Tea-Party-agenda-is-crippling-entrepreneurship-and-precipitating-the-death-of-the-American-dreamThis diary is addressed not to my fellow progressives, but rather to the Tea Party and to what is commonly referred to as hate radio. As an American expat who holds an MBA degree living in the European Union and moved from the noise and the disinformation campaign of the plutocrat owned American media, I see very clearly what has happened here. First American entrepreneurship has been completely decimated, primarily due to the crippling costs of medical expenses in the for profit American medical system. So the plutocrats and the Wall St banksters have sold you this lie of a jobless recovery, so you will continue to spend money that you don't have for things you can't afford. All the while enriching and empowering them, while they incite you to hate us, your very brothers and sisters, children, neighbors and friends, but then again all through history the wealthy have done a good job at turning one half of the working class against each other. While by way of a parasite they live off our life blood collectively in robber baron luxury and grandeur.
Not only is a jobless recovery a complete and utter lie, it is actually impossible, because no economy has ever recovered without job creation driving recovery. So they have lied to you and told you it is possible to recover without jobs and you've swallowed it. But all of this isn't even the point of this diary, which like several of my other diaries will wind up being cross posted to Tea Party sites and dissected. To which I tell you if you're going to dissect something, dissect this, most jobs in the American economy are grown by small business, which you have crippled given your support of the Tea Party agenda whose centerpiece it is to kill medical reform and therefore kill American entrepreneurship, because small businesses are responsible for most of the job growth in America historically and they can no longer afford medical plans for themselves and for their employees. That leaves the American working class with one refuge from the plutocrat led class warfare and that is the union. And now you're supporting their union busting efforts. Then I'm sure most of you already know all these things. So it is now I will invite you to read on below the fold to find out what you don't know but have to hear.
The ugly truth is the American plutocracy's unwillingness to pay their fair share of taxes means that 4 out of every 6 dollars federal government spends is being borrowed, in other words the plutocracy is drowning the American working class in debt.
In the European Union more than double the rate of unionization exists than in America and Europe is prosperous, whereas America is in decline. To understand that you have to stop watching Fox business and look at the travel section, because it shows you through the booming American tourism and travel industry to Europe, that the European Union is indeed prosperous, largely due to high rates of unionization and a strong social safety net. What the American travel and tourism industry to Europe sells are the great social democracies which features clean streets, good infrastructure, low crime, affordable medical care for those who need it of a very high standard, affordable food prices, a great and well functioning public transportation network that features train stations that are integrated right into the airports, light rail and subway systems integrated right into the airport, that are affordable, reliable and punctual enough to where you can set your watch by them for the most part.
