A Republican celebration of Dependence

How the Reactionaries have replaced the "Nanny State" with the Nanny Corporation

On this Friday before labor day, supposedly a day honoring working people, it is instructive to look at exactly who and what we are working for. In an age when wages are taxed at a higher rate than investment income, and falling income and wealth for the bottom 90 percent of Americans is a matter of fact, it is time to take aim at the so-called American Dream and how it has been perverted by the "less government" crowd of reactionaries currently running the U.S. A one-sided class war is being waged, with monopoly crony capitalism simultaneously winning and making us more dependent on it. Below the fold, we puncture the myth that every American can get ahead, as reality proves otherwise.

Did you know, that right here, right now, without inventing anything new, we have a proven, off the shelf technology and transportation mode that is up to ten times more fuel efficient than the average car and up to 4 times as efficient as the latest hybrids. Additionally, that technology consumes less land than air and car travel, travels on a bed that does not include asphalt and other impervious materials, and is significantly safer. It is time to ride the rails to sustainability, and I will tell you why below the fold.

The Oily Monopoly Part I - A Brief History of how the Oil Company Cartels have perpetrated Dependence on the Black Crack.

Cross posted at Conceptual Guerilla

One of the greatest myths perpetrated by the Reactionary Ripoff Republicans, a.k.a Cheap Labor Conservatives, is that of the "free market" in America. There are numerous examples to disprove this "flat earth theory" of the reactionary ripoff boys, but few are more glaringly obvious than the sordid history of the US petroleum based economy, beginning as early as the 1920s. Tacit, or even overt government enabling of this industry has been the name of the game since then, with the result that this industry virtually runs the country, reaching its apex in the Bush II regime, where at least 3 of the top 5 in that "administration" are former oil men or women.
