And with all the change over the past 50 years, there really hasn’t been any until now. With the 2008 election, is real change finally achievable? Even when Obama is elected? Is this so called grass roots upswell real and if it is, will it last? The working Americans have not been united on any one thing in over 60 years. So the ruling class has been able to enslave them (nickel and dime them) for all these years. And now when the ruling class institutions have crashed the working people let them bail themselves out with our tax dollars.
No one will ever help the working class. Not even themselves, unless they do unite and say enough is enough. I fear this will not happen in my life time.
n a stunning indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, best-selling author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities-from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the rule of law. With this galvanizing call to arms based on her recent book, she urges regular citizens to take back our legacy of freedom and justice.
