http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2245248This post along with a story I read yesterday about Texas Police getting a grant from DHS for drones to use on US citizens got me thinking about how we are funding our own slip into fascism.
Politicians who vote for this crap? We pay em'.
The Supreme Court? We pay em'.
Airport scanners? We paid for em'.
Police Drones? We bought em'.
The Patriot Act? We are funding it.
This new spy plane? We own it.
We pay police salaries so they can attack peaceful protesters. We give more money to banks who stole our money to begin with. We give money to corporations in the form of tax breaks so they can send our jobs overseas. We spend more on defense than any other nation. More than 6 times than that of China. But ask for a few scraps so Grandma can buy her medication and food this week and it's "class warfare".
We're actually paying to get totally fucked over.
My head hurts.
