The pitiful state of the economy makes the U.S. vulnerable.
America is on the precipice of a fascist
uprising. While liberals have consistently leveled the f-word against
opponents on the right, much the same way conservatives have
appropriated socialist or Marxist against those on the political left,
there is now data showing that proto-fascist movements are on the rise.
The kindling for the fire of fascism has
already been lit. While the Republican Party holds at least one branch
of the federal government, America will never be able to deal
intelligently and earnestly with the economic policies that have
destroyed the working class and all but decimated the middle class. A
GOP congress guarantees that Democratic efforts to raise the minimum
wage, reform the tax code and repair our crumbling infrastructure will
be thwarted, all in the name of protecting the rich from paying their
fair share.
Long-term unemployment promises to be the
norm, as well stagnant and poverty-level wages, foreclosures, crippling
personal debt and bankruptcies, the evaporation of savings and
retirement funds, the outsourcing of jobs, the continued dilapidation of
our schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, and airports, and the
regulations that safeguard our food, water, and clean air. All this
comes courtesy of obscene profits, bonuses, taxpayer subsidies, tax
breaks and compensation being doled out to our corporate overlords.
