Democrats Have To Stand Up to the GOP's Budget Proposals, Even if It Means a Government Shutdown

I agree. This is a case of Shock Doctrine on the American people, but something more is involved as well. As Dystopian as it may sound, those of the 1% who have managed to have the wealth of the nation rerouted to them for the last thirty years can only safely enjoy their position if the remaining 99% are broken in mind, body, and spirit. Those of the 1% aren't destroying social programs simply to be mean, their goal is the total dis-empowe­rment of the American people. They want us sick, so they go after health programs they can't profit from, they want us ignorant, so they go after educationa­l programs, and funding of libraries. They want us divided so their media outlets sow discontent and bigotry in order to turn those of the 99% into bitter enemies of one another. Divided. Conquered.



The Democrats aren't the last line of defense, but they are the last reason to believe the existing political order is capable of defending the 99% of Americans who are being marginaliz­ed. If the Democrats falter it will be time for something newer, something fiercer. I hope the Democrats stand their ground, but if not it's incumbent upon the rest of us to fight on without them.



I wasn't put on this planet to be the slave of a wealth hoarder, my guess there are 310 million other Americans that deep in their heart feel the same way.



The 1% had better hope the Democrats prevail.
