Zombie Economics Is Winning—Here's How to Kill It (Again)

[Galraedia]

Republicans want to cut taxes for the richest 0.1 percent of Americans by millions of dollars. How are they getting away with it? Progressives aren't telling the right story to distinguish between the policies that got us into the Great Recession and the policies that are helping us get out.

1. The Democratic "leadership" has determined that they want to lick the boots of the economic royals

as well as the GOP.

2. They have tried to be bipartisan

It isn't the Democratic Party's fault that America was dumbed down during the reign of terror by George W. Bush. People need to participate in our democracy or STFU.

3. How do you propose the people participate to end the corrupting influences in our democracy? How

would it help if they were to STFU?

[Galraedia]

4. It would help if...

they didn't blame the Democrats for Republican obstruction. And they should only STFU if they don't participate. Few people voted in 2010 and look what happened. People gave into the Faux News propaganda and Tea Party paranoia and decided to let them have their way. Now look what they've done.

5. How do you propose the people participate to end the corrupting influences in our democracy? How

without pointing out the corrupting influence in our own party?

[Galraedia]

6. You can point out the corrupt influences in the Democratic Party...

all you want, but the alternative is much worse. People need to protest and vote or risk losing America. So far the Democratic Party is the only one listening to the people while the RepubliCONS play goof ball games with the economy. Is the Democratic Party perfect? No, but it's the best we got.

7. Don't you have any way we can participate to end the corruption? IS STOP the only thing you have?

Progressives have positive goals.

8. There are many ways to fight against corruption...

by voting, informing, refusing to do business with certain companies, moving money out of big banks, protesting....etc. Corruption cannot be fully eradicated but it can be slowed down. This might be a good start: http://www.getmoneyout.com/
