There Are NO Commons With The GOP - Billionaires And Corporations Are Supposed To Own It

Outsourcer and Privatizer in chief. Romney and the "new" radical GOP believe that any public commons is communistic. They believe that it ALL should be owned or in private hands. National Parks no problem just sell them to the Kochs. Your water no problem just put it on the commodities market with corn or barley.

What the GOP wants and intends is really just so unAmerican. Look at what they have already privatized and how devastating that is. Yet we seem to be unable to stop it.

I can see it now. Yosemite Disneyland. If they win, they will make us like the Greeks and sell of anything not nailed down and even that.

When you open up our commons to be sold that means that even China could buy Rocky Mountain National Park.

The GOP is too extreme to even exist really.

The Kochs would buy the parkland and then charge $65/day to get in the gate.

Then, none of the wealthy would go visit because they are too busy making money.

Then, they'd probably set up a ness of oil wells and declair the property "Closed to the public"
