(12,977 posts)The Republicans need to admit that the Affordable Care Act, by making it easier for people to leave their corporate jobs and set up in business for themselves to market that great idea or new invention, promotes economic growth and individual freedom.
The Democrats need to admit that enacting "free trade" agreements that give big media and the intellectual property industry a lock on copyrights and patents will only stifle future innovation and not help the American position in the global economy in the long run.
Until that happens, both parties are just going to be enabling the corporations. But once it does happen, the Democratic Party will be far more like the party of our desires, and even the Republicans may have something useful to contribute.
