Reply #39: People are starting to see through the veil that clouded our brains

It has taken long enough. We have been in a dark era since around 1980, maybe even 1976 when they became super active. I think even their supporters are seeing as a bankrupt philosophy. It has and is a ploy to keep rich people rich at the expense of the rest of us. It has gotten so bold that they no longer care about selling the rest of us down the river to keep getting richer and their friends richer. I look at it in mostly economic terms. We have had to break through with those blue dog dems who switched sides over the last 25 years or so. I think they now see it for what I mentioned above. Our country has become like a giant pyramid scheme that was bound to collapse. Well now its happening, and the fallout will be huge. I think we are in for some bad times ahead before we turn things around.

The right spent so much time trashing Europe and now we can clearly see that the EU is doing so so so much better in every way then we have been doing. Their higher tax rates help finance a system that mostly works for its people. Here, the system seems and feels to actually work against people. The turnaround in my view was Hurricane Katrina. It opened the eyes of many people for the first time that our government has been gutted so its no longer effective. Republicans fail to finance gov and then rail against it when it does not perform, the perfect self fulfilling prophecy.
