The Left Right Paradigm Is Over! It's YOU Vs. The Corporations

It doesn't matter which party runs the show -- the real power on Capitol Hill is entrenched within the Military-Industrial Party, the Agriculture Party, the Banking Party, the Big-Energy Party, and Big Pharma & Insurance. They win....You lose.....No matter who is in office. We now live in an era defined by increasing Corporate/Banking influence and authority over the individual. It is now an Individual vs. Corporate/banking debate.... and the Humans are losing.

Don't Think So? Weigh the following:

Most of the regulations that govern energy and banking sector were written by Corporations.

Corporate ability to extend copyright far beyond what original protections amounts to a taking of public works for private corporate usage.

Patent protections are continually weakened.... Deep pocketed corporations can and DO usurp inventions almost at will.

The biggest influence on legislative votes is Corporate Lobbying and what the people want from THEIR Rep is ignored (IE War, Bailouts)

PAC and campaign finance by Corporations has supplanted individual donations to elections...Barack Obama and John McCain both received more money from Corporate Wall Street donors than their combined lifetime government salaries!

DRM and content protection undercuts the individual’s ability to use purchased content as they see fit.

The individuals’ right to seek redress in court has been under attack for decades, limiting their options. (IE Courts uphold evections of home owners not behind on payments and even FULLY paid proporites!)

The Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations have 'RIGHTS' even Free Speech rights equivalent to people.

None of the above are Democrat/Republican conflicts, but rather, are corporate vs. individual issues!

For those of you who are stuck in the old Left/Right debate, you are missing the big picture. You know this about the Bailouts.... It was a right-winger who bailed out all of the big banks, Fannie Mae, and AIG in the first place; then his left winger successor continued to pour even more money into the bottomless pit.

What difference did the Left/Right dynamic make? None whatsoever.

Government spending? The past two presidents are regarded as representative of the Left Right paradigm..... yet they each spent excessively, sponsored unfunded tax cuts, plowed money into illegal military takeovers and ran enormous deficits. Does Left Right really make a difference when it comes to deficits and fiscal responsibility?...Apparently not.

What does it mean when we can no longer distinguish between the actions of the left and the right? If that dynamic no longer accurately distinguishes what occurs, why are so many of our policy debates framed in Left/Right terms?

Keynes vs Hayek?...Friedman vs Krugman?...Those are the wrong intellectual debates. Its You vs. Tony Hayward, BP CEO, You vs. Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs CEO. You vs Rockfeller's Owners of the World Banks YOU vs. Wall Street pension, property and jobs grab..... And YOU are losing! . . .
