Yet we see articles of Chavez in particular, nationalizing or socializing natural resources and industry in Venezuela. Just today I learned that Mexico and its right wing government is attempting to "privatize the extraction, transport, and refining of oil and gas".... heard this on the radio twice today. I see nothing here. I also looked on line for an article and couldn't find one.
Why? This country is brainwashed into thinking that privatization is somehow good and socializing is bad. It's pretty damn obvious as to how biased our country has become, at least the corporate media is doing a bang up job in reporting only one side, while silent on another... I hope here on DU people will start to realize how much privatization has chipped away at our "commons" and placed it's wealth in the hands of the already, exclusionary wealthy elite. That's not what America was supposed to be about. Just watch John Adams, the new special on HBO, and you will get a glimpse as to how America and it's ideals have been warped to benefit a very small minority in this country.
Also notice how as America has lost it's commons to the wealthy, we see a decline of the middle class. I think privatization is a ruse..... I also think it only benefits those vested in that private entity at the expense of the commons and the people that rightly own it, that would be We the People.
Trickle Down Economics is really a rich man pissing down your back. If things were more balanced I may not have woken up... but now that I am, I thought I pass on this nightmare to all of you.
