Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Krugman: Losing Our Country

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I agree until the author gets down to blaming Republicans. IMO both 
political parties are equally to blame for the current situation and I 
don't see the situation getting any better since such a large proportion 
of those in government are themselves wealthy and willing to take 
direction from the wealthy to help them set policy. The government is no 
longer of the people and for the people which is really the end of 
America is we believe it to be in our hearts. Is there any hope of 
changing the direction our country is going short of revolution? Yes! 
What put the wealthy into so much power was control of the media and the 
media is becoming less centralized and less bought and paid for thanks 
to the Internet and tech such as Tivo. Different forces are at play 
among young people than have been factors in how their parents voted so 
as those young people come of voting age and begin to form a mature 
culture of their own the people may actually get control of their 
government back again. Want to be President some day? Start blogging now.
