What blissninny apologeticists, social engineers, and leftists do not understand is that how they
believe or
feel about things does
not change objective reality.
They
believe there is no problem, but there still
is a problem.
They
believe the world can be a better place, but it
is not.
They
believe America is infinitely rich and can absorb any damage, but it
is not and it
cannot.
They
believe that America can expand into the world and save it, but in doing so America
is only destroying itself.
Let's face it, the middle class is the last major deposit of wealth that both the commies and the corporates can tap. That is why both groups are so active in their respective parties and dig in as much as they can.
The commies hate the middle class because they recognize it will never truly buy into its social message, as it understands albeit gutturally or silently that the message is both dangerous and unrealistic. The collapse of the USSR exemplified only too well that communism/socialism do not work in the long run. That is why the commies love to pit the lower class and minorities against everybody else (i.e. middle-class and upper-class whites!). Finally, whenever in power, the commies use taxation to take away from their enemies and feed their electorate making it dependent on .gov handouts and statism.
The corporates view the middle class as a cashcow, to which they can sell overseas products they build by slave labor in the Third World or by illegal wages to illegal invaders at home. In essence they cannibalize the country's manufacturing capabilities in doing so, which erodes the middle class. The trade imbalance, the national debt, horrendous spending, and pointless wars are just tools to accomplish their goal - take wealth from the middle class and from the country through deficits and the national debt. They know that the party will soon be over, just like a parasite senses the host is dying. So, they have gone into feeding frenzy in the past decade or so, sensing the end is near. In addition, they are going as international as possible, to decrease their parasitic dependence on any particular host. In essence, they are graduating from a national parasite to an international parasite. Evolution in the making.
Finally, one of the reasons why both parties have become so similar in part of their rhetoric and posture is because the corporates in both parties ultimately have the same goals to grab as much as they can before the end. The only differences arise from the varying ways in which they have to manage their respective footsoldiers to keep them in line by demagogy and fear.
It is clear that the most powerful and most energetic sections of both major parties are enemies to the middle class and the average American. Therein the irony of so many supporting them blindly or scaring themselves into "compromises" and "choosing the lesser evil". Would you like to be boiled or roasted alive? Choose the lesser?
