Reply #5: THIS is why the repukes want to "privatize" everything!!!! [View All]

Don't you see the connection? If schools are privatized, corporations can charge whatever they want to educate your kids, or your kids can just stay home (it makes for good cheap labor when kids don't get an education). Plus, it takes the burden off the repuke politicians to raise taxes. Same with the water supply, same with the sanitation, same with the roads, same with the military -- all of which are experiencing "privatization creep".

It puts unregulated amounts of $$ in the pockets of those corporations who take over essential services (they can charge whatever they want to for essential services) -- things people CAN'T do without, without becoming 3rd world -- and keeps the people poor and helpless, the corporations rich and powerful, and lets the repukes off the hook about having to raise taxes.

I just don't think the repukes realized shrub would do such an effective job of breaking the state's coffers before total privatization had taken hold. We're at the "interim" period, between all of their plans being in place. But, expect to hear a LOT more about privatization of essential services in the next couple of years. They have some quick 'catching-up' to do.

It's a huge circular, closed system, designed to give more and more power to the few, and create more and more hardship for the "unwashed masses".

But don't think for a MINUTE that payroll taxes will be reduced enough to compensate for the municipal services that our taxes formerly supported. After all, there's corporate welfare, and lots of bombs to build. Not to mention paying our governmental representatives inflated salaries and benefits.
