Ah, so the Republican power grab is complete. Corporations will now have complete control of the political system. Hooray! What a great day for America!
For the
liberal/left-leaning posters here, I'd like to raise a few questions:
1. Are the Pubbies (especially the tea-party types) yearning for a new, permanent Gilded Age where corporations and other moneyed business interests would run amok in fulfillment of their vision of unbridled free enterprise?
2. Are many Pubbies in these days free-market fundamentalists that believes in absolutely
NO government role in promoting economic justice and public well-being (except for providing national security/maintaining local law-and-order)?
3. Why the Pubbies seems to be way more Machiavellian when they take over state legislatures and governorships then the Dems, and bent on promoting polarizing wedge issues instead of serious governance? (I'm not saying Dems are innocent, but they seems to be a tad more interested in real governance)
Hope that someone can give insights on the above issues. thanks!
(Disclaimer: My questions above are explicitly aimed at the liberal posters. For conservative/libertarian posters, please ignore this response or at least provide serious counter-responses. Thanks!)
