“Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
~Ronald "Short Brains" Reagan
January 20, 1981
What is the end-game of the Grand Old Party's hatred of the Government of the United States? What is the logical outcome of making everything in Government operate like a corporation? Recently, Wisconsin governor Scott "G.E.D" Walker introduced legislation in the state budget bill to abolish Wisconsin's Open Records Law. It is this law which allows the small time rift-raft like you and I to find out what our duly elected representatives in government have been playing. How far can the GOP take this political strategy, making it illegal for voters to access information about their representative democracy? At what point do we decide that our republic has failed and turn all authority into the hands of a single person or group of people?
So, according to Republicans, the Wisconsin voter and taxpayer has no right to know how their government representatives perform their public duties. That sounds like typical GOP logic.
Why not just get rid of voting and turn government into a for-profit private business? Let's get rid of wasteful social supports, like building roads and bridges, schools, fire departments, police and city water wastewater management, and anything and everything except business related to the military-corporate "defense" industry? The United States could be run by a small board of weapons manufacturers and their Military Brass counterparts.
All citizens would be required to pledge an oath of loyalty to this Board of Directors. All civil rights would be suspended. All political parties except the GOP would be abolished and organizing against them would be punishable by summary execution. Those too weak, or sick, or disabled to serve in the GOP Military Oligarchy would be rounded up and gassed in concentration camps.
This Supreme Government would abolish taxes because they would abolish wages. You either work for minimal food and shelter, or you are put out to die.
Families would be replaced by breeding camps, and children would be raised to become soldiers. Global war would be the chief business of this New World Order. 1 percent would rule with absolute power and wield near infinite wealth while the 99 percent would toil and serve as slaves.
Sound like something that could never happen? Is this a little far-fetched?
