Democrats today value race over economics. John F. Kennedy said that when the economic tide comes in all of the ships in the harbor rise Democrats of the Clinton-Obama era seek just the betterment of their own party constituency if that. President Obama has sought just to enrich the most rich.
The
party of Hubert Humphrey and Robert Kennedy is long dead. The
Bush-Clinton-Obama line advanced Wall Street and corporate interests.
For some investors if terrorism happens in a nation the significant
concern is how it effects the profit and loss statement of the
fortune 500.
The
democrat party constituency in a way still believes in the party of
Kennedy and Robert Hubert H. Humphrey when the interests of the
common working class and middle class men and women together with the
poor were the primary concern. The party was more realistic in those
days than today where the party leadership consistently says one
thing and does another. Lawyers are purveyors of words with guile
rather than business men and women of action. They may say anything
to get elected then simply work for the interests of globals and the
most rich.
Democrat
party leaders say words that bring votes and actions that concentrate
wealth while stagnating wages for the middle class and poor. Good
jobs are sent abroad to China and with fewer employed in the United
States at any time in the past 40 years reports about the economy are
shrunken such that it seems as if the economy is healthy.
American
blacks are the worst off in the Bush-Clinton-Obama line of economic
shrinking. Students must pay off huge college loans while career jobs
are moving targets and flee abroad. The great tax cuts of Barrack
Obama were acts of economic racism against black economic
developments that a white male president could not have got away
with, yet blacks just want more and voted for a second term for
Barrack Hussein Obama.
Formerly
it was the responsibility of the democratic Party to run candidates
that better the situation for American workers rather than drive them
out of the work force, send good jobs overseas, sustain 50 million on
food stamps and entitlement programs to half of the people of the
United States.
News
media owned by Wall Street as well as the Soviet era Pravda like
national Public Radio back up the shrinking economic picture reports
readily-they are in the half of the country with good income after
all and relegate the losers to the new normal they have accepted as
the way things are. The way things are though is evolving away from
real democracy with lesser disparity between rich and poor and toward
a global plutonomy with nations fading away to business districts
controlled by corporate-government elites-where real candidates and
concepts for issues that might trouble the ruling class simply won't
exist. Dope and large screen t.v.s and more can pacify the masses.
Or
can it? If the entire world is brought to an American standard of
living it would quickly consume planetary resources with the
environment brought to conclusive ruin. Even if American voters are
reduced to spineless followers with complaints and protests about
white males such as they were in the 1950s economically in comparison
to everyone else, that world will still be long expired and the wages
of American blacks and white women will fall into decline to as they
are controlled and set aside with development going elsewhere in the
world.
It
is an irony that the first black President got away with committing
the most racist economic tax cut against black Americans in modern
times to the society and nation. All the President needed to do was
just not sign the bill into law-a single veto, and he could have
negotiated for tax cuts with republicans from the bottom up starting
with complete exemption for the poor. Instead the Harvard lawyer
dumped everything he could to the rich and left nothing at all for
democrats to negotiate with. Lost was funding for students, new
alternative infrastructure development, paying off the national debt,
space colonization and development of electro-magnetic accelerators
in the moon and Mars, environmental recovery, free college education,
increased scientific research funding and a guaranteed minimum income
of one-quarter the average working wage. With a fairly progressive
tax on wealth those doing business in the U.S.A. would be those
willing to invest here and contribute to the U.S.A. as if it
mattered. If Hillary Clinton were to be elected, the first women
President may bring about a substantive decline in the average wage
of white women since their modern rise though brought them to within
a fraction of the average of working men.
