I think that the real problem with Republicans is their top down attitude. I think this comes from their business world thinking. There is nothing democratic about business, all decisions are made from on high and no one should question the edict. They run the economy, “trickle down”, the military, “I’m the commander” and the government as if it was commanded by god and no one shall interfere. This thinking has lead to an economy that is unsustainably top heavy, a military situation with no good outcome and a government that cannot begin to understand what responding to a disaster is all about.

Clearly building from the bottom up is a fundamental place to begin. Responding to natural disasters starts with boots on the ground not management. Creating a vibrant economy can only be done by fueling the bottom, putting the money where it is needed. With the military it was the commander/ decider thing that got us into Iraq but it is the setting up of the top down government that has led to this horrible end. Power should have been built from the bottom up. Local leaders should have been included and built around. The already defined areas should have been the starting point, not an imposed imperial government. The top down government of Iraq will fall because nothing is holding it up. The green zone will soon collapse because it has no real support on the people.

The Republican don’t even acknowledge that labor has anything to do with production or should have any voice. To them it is all about the bottom line and labor costs are no different than material costs. Get it as cheap as possible no matter what. We have let them create non-person corporations to hide behind and legal loopholes to avoid responsibility. They own our “free speech” media and have bought our government with campaign money. These capitalists are running our government and our country off a cliff and into the ground.

Capitalism can be used to benefit our society. A fair and just economy that includes everyone will build the community and give people dignity. All people should share in the wealth that is created by our capital system. Just as in everything working together gives better results than selfishness and greed. When the results of Republican leadership become clear to the people they will fall, they will return to their to their natural minority status position. The only way they came to power was by cheating and if we clean our elections up and the people reclaim their country, Republicanism will be curbed. The people/ worker is beginning to see the light and in time they will understand how bad the policies that the Republicans have brought us are and what the consequences will be.

History tells us of the rise and fall of the elite money interest, each time the bottom rises up and smacks them in the face and it will again. Just as they will rise again and try spreading their failed policies, history will be ignored and we will repeat this moment. This is the same battle that has gone on since the beginning of our country and before. “God save the Queen and let them eat cake” will never die. The people must stand up to tyranny but it takes some time for the crowd to grow to a mob. “No one expects the Spanish Inquisition”.
