WhaTHellsgoingonhere's JournalThey've demonized "income redistribution" like they have with so many...
words.
Dumb America only hears "I can win the lottery, too" when income is redistributed to the wealthy, and "socialism" and "class warfare" when money goes the other direction.
For some reason, Dems let them win all the marketing wars. Remember when Dems were too afraid to say "Liberal"?
Great find, kpete, thanks!
nice post bvar!
Bravo! That's exactly what's been taking place for 30 years
Finally letting us know what her platform will look like...
"Striking a soothing note on the global financial crisis, she told the audience, in effect: We all got into this mess together, and were all going to have to work together to get out of it. What the bankers heard her to say was just what they would hope for from a prospective presidential candidate: Beating up the finance industry isnt going to improve the economyit needs to stop. And indeed Goldmans Jim ONeill, the laconic Brit who heads the banks asset management division, introduced Clinton by saying how courageous she was for speaking at the bank. (Brave, perhaps, but also well-compensated: Clintons minimum fee for paid remarks is $200,000)."
What would Hillary do...?
"My view, and the view of many, is that trade agreements are more of a foreign policy tool than an economic policy tool. Presidents and their State Departments want alliances with countries, and use trade agreements as part of the diplomacy, tying us together. The problem is that we lose so many industries as we bribe those countries by way of giving them access to our domestic market without receiving similar volumes of foreign sales.

Thus Clintons and Obamas strategy is fatally flawed, because (1) the TPP will likely worsen our trade deficit or at least it wont help and (2) the fact of our trade deficit means we cant be a substantial foreign investor (because we are a net recipient of foreign investment)."

Wow, no one even saw this...???
I know Obama, the media, the multi-national corporatists want TPP talks to be secret and the treaty fast tracked and all, but DU whiffed on it?
OBAMACARE!!!!
I can only think of 3 people in Congress that carry themselves like candidates...
...and by "carry" I mean they make populist statements:
Bernie Sanders (says "not interested" every week on Thom Hartmann)
Elizabeth Warren (apparently, she's thrown her support behind Hillary)
Alan Grayson (I could see him running)
Outside the beltway
Howard Dean
Dennis John Kucinich
and 2000 DU heads explode...
everytime I see footage of the thugs pushing riot police...
...at the White House, I can't help but think about how riot police pepper spray or beat the living crap out of peaceful demonstrators from the left.
