Capitalism, free-market, small government and racism

These things converged to give us Trump. Think of all the talk about the takers draining our treasury, those “others” taking and robbing America. Add that to all the talk about free-market, private sector does the job way better than the government. And so on and so on.

I have a very intelligent friend who wants to drown the government in the tub and she is also a racist, though she would never admit it.

I think we need to make more people aware of the problems of privatizing everything. CEO of Nestles just stated that people don’t have a right to clean water. Let that sink in. The majority of our people are brain-washed by fox and corporations.

Solutions: money OUT of politics.
Take public airways from Fox or find a way to make them stop lying.
Continue to support and fund the resistance!
