Where will American citizens draw the line on the damage caused by trickle-down economics? We have already lost the 1950's style middle-class family with the stay-at-home-mom to Republican deregulation. Do we have to bring back child labor before the American citizen starts making the connection that what is good for corporations is not good for the citizens? Will the American citizens ever make the connection that a vote for a Republican is a vote against the 1950's style middle-class economy? A Republican vote is: a vote against the individual, a vote against the family, a vote in favor of deregulated-corporations free to run amuck as they have done these past eight years with ever increasing carnage.

How far will Republicans let the middle class sink before they do something to help? Will they allow corporations to hire children in order to "keep jobs in America"? Corporations are already using sweatshops again, just because you haven't heard about sweatshops in the corporation-owned media doesn't mean it's not happening. A 1950's economy cannot survive with the "bread winner" earning a buck an hour and that's what it will take for corporations to not outsource jobs in a free-market system. Whoever will work for the lowest wage gets the job in a free-market economy.

It is up to government to regulate business (corporations) so that they do not run amuck or outsource jobs. Republicans make it very clear what their plan is for America: "Do you want the government telling you what to do?" "NO!" comes the emphatic reply from the floor of the Republican convention: "NO," to putting the breaks on corporation's gluttonous, greedy slide to oblivion. It's their right to self destruct because the boys at the top make a bundle of money even as you lose your nest egg and a life time of hard work and who bails out the corporations? You do, Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer.

The current Democrats may not have the answers to topple and crush corporate rule, but they are a step in the right direction. Remember, Republicans of the 1970's are today's liberals. We have swung so far to the right it will take some time to swing back to the left. It's a long road back to "government of by and for the people", but since it is in your best interest to do so, isn't it worth taking a few baby steps in that direction? Every vote for a Republican is a step in the opposite direction of the middle class prosperity we associate with 1950's America. A free-market system did not bring about the prosperity of the 1950's. The middle class does not happen by accident. It takes government regulations on business that force them to treat the American worker fairly.

Laws for corporations and publicly traded businesses bind them to make profits more important than the people who bring success to the business. Hard work is not rewarded in a free-market system. This quarter's record breaking profits are next quarter's goal. Is that an unreasonable goal, yes of course, but it's the reality of the stock market. So if a publicly-traded company starts to lose on Wall Street even though profits are up, the company will cut or out-source jobs to save a few bucks, but it's just a short-term, short-sighted solution. Ultimately, as we have seen lately on Wall Street, every publicly traded company will hit a ceiling and their stock will plummet until they are bought out or the company collapses. The rich boys who run the company still get rich so don't fret about them, but with no government regulations on the company, the Republican husband who worked hard all his life for the company loses his stock, his retirement and his healthcare all in one fell swoop.

All we are saying is: "government, give people a chance" within a free-market system. Republicans do not "believe in" regulating business and protecting you the hard-worker against a mindlessly greedy free-market system. The corporations who benefit from deregulation own all the airwaves and bombard you with their messages: "If you let Government regulate us the corporations, it will regulate you and tell you what to do as well". And American's say, "Yeah, I don't want Government telling me what to do!" But hello, Joe average citizen, YOU are the government! Republicans make you forget this fact. Republicans make the government sound like some mindless Big Brother, even as they hand-over power to the real US Big Brother: the corporations. Sorry to tell you this America, but when you vote Republican you screw yourself! So you have a choice this November to either: go screw yourself by voting for the Republicans or vote for the Democrats and take a tiny baby step toward a 1950's style middle class American economy.

Republicans and corporations have the American citizen so scared of the government that they won't use it to protect themselves from corporate rule. A person has no rights within a corporation. The corporation makes all the rules and the worker has no rights. Don't believe me? Try exercising your civil liberties in a corporation. The next time your corporation does a round of lay-offs, take a stand against it and see how far you get. If you don't back down, the police, the public servants who are supposed to protect you the citizen, will be there to protect the corporation from you.

You can have a say in government without being arrested, but not at a corporation, yet we buy into the lie that we are better taken-care-of by unregulated corporations. It is government without representation only instead of someone stealing your representation in government you vote it away with every Republican vote. You say, "Here President, here Congressperson, don't represent me, represent corporations and their interests, because governing myself just plain scares me. You do whatever corporations want you to do and I'll trust them to take care of me. Look at Wall Street, look how well they are doing with the economy and my livelihood. Look how well they treat the air I breathe, the water I drink and the food I eat. Let corporations speak for me, let them have my representation, because their good fortune will trickle down to me and shall be my reward".

Brace yourself America, our corporate Lord's business sense is about to trickle down to all of us in the form of taxes. Then we will truly have good old taxation without representation! Bravo, Republicans, you have put back into place one of the main reasons for our break with England! Republican's want 1950's America, but their leaders have gone back even further in time and made us all 1250's serfs to our corporate lords. Well done Republicans and you did it all with thunderous applause from your minions!

Every idiot who holds up their Republican banner or drives around with their Republican bumper sticker is saying "I'm voting to fuck myself, my kids, my grandkids, my neighbors, you, and the rest of the world. God bless me for it, too."
