Democracy is Coming...to the USA
Our government has told us repeatedly through their control of the mass media that socialism is a flawed system that enables dictatorships and deprivation. Who are the people that are telling us this? One only has to look at who owns the media. Why would media outlets that are owned by corporations such as General Electric and Westinghouse, huge defense contractors, tell us any different? Tyrants like Rupert Murdock and Roger Ailes have a vested interest in keeping the status quo in place. The corporate sponsors of the news channels such as Lockheed-Martin and Boeing will always present the capitalist view of world events.
Americans are starting to understand just where their government places their priorities. In 2008, the largest transfer of wealth in recorded history took place right in front of our eyes. Over 14 Trillion dollars went to the oligarchs of Wall Street in the form of taxpayer money. Did that transfer of wealth actually help American families? Not by a long shot, but last year, bonuses on Wall Street were up by 18%.
