The Right is Giving Up on Democracy

[Oldem]

2. We face so many dangers, and this is one

of the most serious. It's not new. From the time of this country's founding, the Tory element has believed in ruling and servant classes. This belief that certain people are born to benefit from the labor of others is the antithesis of democracy. Yet it's built into the fabric of our economic system. Businesses are created to make profits, and the more those profits are shared with workers, the less is left for the business owner(s), stock holders, etc. The bloody strife when the labor movement bore unions is a testament to the antipathy between the two groups. Labor rights had to be torn from management's hands, and they weren't relinquished peacefully. In the last hundred years, William Buckley embodied the Tory mentality. He gave us Ronald Reagan and trickle-down economics. And on it goes. Repugs believe they have a right to rule, pure and simple. Thus, anyone who votes against them is the enemy and must be controlled or stopped. By any means necessary.
