Reply #2: Myths [View All]

[KansDem]

So many myths have come to light in recent decades...

1) "Trickle-Down Economics," Part I--the myth that if given tax breaks, the nation's wealthy will "re-invest" in America... Of course they took their swag and squirreled it away in offshore, secret bank accounts...

2) "Trickle-Down Economics," Part II--the wealthy, with their new tax breaks, invested not in America but in foreign countries, along with America's corporations.

3) I'm amazed out how Tea Baggers will shout "socialism" at anti-health care rallies. They actually believe private enterprise has their best interests at heart. Socialism is a system of, for, and by the people! Corporatism is of, for, and by the investors! Who really has the best interests of the American people at heart? The American people or private investors?

4) Tea Baggers claim that health-care will deny them freedom. Really? What freedom do they have now? The are constantly forced to take what corporatism offers them and forced to pay corporatists' prices. What kind of "freedom" is that?

Corporations are like a giant leeches and malignant cancers rolled into one. The constantly suck the lifeblood of Americans while rendering them hapless as dying organs...
