22. First of all, we can change the make-up of Congress when we change

the White House occupant. And we must do so.

Armstead and Rich M. have done a fine job of explaining why we must stop corporations from gaining any more power and take away some of the power that they have. Read their posts. Stop deluding yourselves about "free" trade and globalization being for your benefit or for the world's benefit. They are only for the benefit of the oligarchy. Cheap labor conservatives are part of the oligarchy and serve its needs, not the needs of the lesser beings in the middle and lower classes. Their only interest in the other classes is to keep wages and benefits down and compress them all into one class that lacks the power or money to oppose the oligarchy and the fascist government it supports.

When the government serves businesses and ignores needs of the people, fascism is the result. If you're waiting to see swastikas, forget it. Fascism doesn't look the same in every incarnation.
