Economic Fascism


There is little evidence that corporations that receive tax breaks will reinvest their newly gained money in the American economy. Just as importantly, the plan to cut social programs will not necessarily lead to people pulling themselves up by their boot straps and earning a good living. Some people are mentally, psychologically or physically incapable of earning a good living, some can and will work but are not inclined to hustle; they, too, will not earn good money, but will encounter exploitation instead. 

That’s what I believe is fascist about the Republican game plan. It expects everyone to be not only workaholics, but hustlers, gamblers, shysters, and of course total conformists.

Everyone, I believe ,can work on some level, but are they inclined to conform to Republican work standards and should they serve an economy which is spiritually, intellectually, environmentally and often physically destructive?

We have a government safety net not just to protect people who are totally helpless, but also ordinary people, who will be duped into working against their own interests and the interests of the country or will fight against this trend and therefore pay a price economically.

The Democrats must win this fight or the country and world will be ruined.
