SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH

Model: Kelly Krave

Republicans and Tea Partisans are flexing their regressive muscle at various state legislatures and chopping down spending on environmental programs. Most moves include deregulation and lifting bans on land development on protected nature reserves across the nation. Since 10% of the people own 90% of the real estate in the U.S., it ain’t hard to figure out who benefits from these alleged moves to promote “free” enterprise at the expense of fresh water supplies: the same fellows who write the cheques for the GOP.

Meanwhile, in seemingly unrelated news, the Spanish government announced last week that China was about to purchase 9 billion euros worth of Spanish debt, or about 60% of the money needed to maintain a safe and viable banking system. Madrid’s newspaper, El Pais, called China the “Banker of the World.”

Incidentally, the U.S. owes more money to China than to God.

In a reversal of fortune that would’ve been dismissed with ridicule 20 years ago, while Republican goons coerce the Democrat White House into slicing trillions out of infrastructure, education, health, clean energy and scientific development budgets, the biggest spending government in the world, communist China, has now become the economic master of the land of the free. Sad.

President Lincoln, during the Gettysburg Address, reminded Americans of the principles upon which their country was founded. He said that the “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” He never said a word about an oligarchy by corporations for corporations. He actually cautioned us against it.
