How to stop the revival of Laissez-Faire?

[LBJ Revivalist]

Whether the Tea Party wing of the GOP will admit it or not, I believe that they and their constituents want to see a return to Laissez-Faire Capitalism, 1890 style, and being on conservative boards, I've seen the cons wishing for this. They want to abolish every program from Social Security on down to the OSHA, and get rid of virtually every regulation we have. I was wondering, how can we reverse this revival of Laissez-Faire/Ultra right wing capitalism?

We will never lose SS or Medicare. When was the last time a major government program like that was cut? It won't happen, no matter what the tea party believes. They'll never have a large enough majority to enable it, and no President would be stupid enough to be the one that took all medicare away from the seniors or removed their SS checks.

Funny, "they're going to take our SS (Medicare,etc)" fearmongering from the left sounds a lot like "they're going to take our guns" fearmongering from the right.

Only it's true.

Indeed, and it's starting in January. Back to 1890 we go!!
