The “American Dream” has become more elusive for most Americans. In fact the American Dream is quickly becoming a chimera! We who are Democratic Socialists still believe that the American Dream can be made real but not under the present Fascist Corporatist system that we have today which is an unequal and unfair system of economics. America must come to the point of realizing that there are no laws that dictate we must rape and pillage nature in order to profit. We must come to realize that the American Dream cannot be obtained by making global inequality worse nor by squandering public funds on massive deadly weapons bent on the destruction of humanity and this planet. We cannot obtain that dream for as long as we continue to discriminate against women, minorities, and other groups attempting to turn segments of our people into second class citizens. And simply trying to revive the American Dream is not enough!
Everything we have historically and traditionally valued in this country is now being undermined. The neo-con Capitalists (Fascist Corporatists) are right about one thing and that is that the success of global corporatism (capitalism) demands that the traditional democratic standards of justice, equality, and decency be undermined. And that is exactly what the corporatists have been doing! In order for the quality of life to improve among most Americans today there must now be a radical political, economic, and social change within the established order. Nothing short of this radical change will bring the American Dream out of the realm of the elusive and into the realm of the attainable.
There is a war being waged against every American man, woman, and child today. It is a war that is also being waged all around the world against every human being. This war is being waged by the Fascist Corporatist (Capitalist) who view PROFIT as paramount above everything else. And the corporatist will do anything for profit even selling his/her own mother if need be! The corporatists are GREEDY and their greed has NO BOUNDS! They worship, live, and breath PROFIT at ANY expense. The corporatist preys upon the working person much as a lion preys upon a lone gazelle at the watering hole. For, the fascist corporatist is a predator and is just as ruthless as the hungry lion who preys upon the gazelle at the watering hole. He/she has no real morals but is driven by a psychotic need for gain and profit at all costs. And in this game of cat and mouse, sadly, it is the common working people who get to pay the ultimate price!
I’m sure you’ve heard of the “fiscal cliff.” You know, that big bad economic cliff we are going to fall off of if we don’t drastically cut our social programs like Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid. This “fiscal cliff” is being fashioned by the Corporatists and we must realize it as such. I can’t help but notice they say nothing about cutting the military budget or ending the endless wars which have been the MAJOR contributors to our nation’s economic woes today! I can’t help but notice that these corporatists say nothing about paying their fair share in taxes but run to and fro claiming they already pay enough of too much. Fact is these people have NEVER paid their fair share and the reason they do not want the endless wars ended or the military budget deeply cut is because they make PROFITS off of endless war and the selling of weapons to other nations. I ask you this. Just how can Goldman Sachs make a billion dollar profit and get millions back from the IRS in refunds at the end of the tax year? Exxon Mobile does the same thing. In fact all of the major global corporations and banks do the same thing. How can they make billions and get a tax refund? And they claim they pay their fair share? Sorry but I do NOT think so!
