The New American Aristocracy

[rhett o rick]

I appreciated the article re. the unpatriotic Bush children not supporting George's "noble cause". But this is only the tip of the ice berg for a much larger problem that is being ignored by the media. This Country is rapidly moving toward a plutocracy. The movement greatly accelerated since 2000. The American Aristocratic class literally owns our government. This Aristocratic class expects the middle class and poor to support this terrible war that they are profiting on. Poverty is increasing, wages are down, jobs are down, the cost of living is increasing, the 40 hours work week is dead, workers are losing their benefits including medical insurance and retirement programs they have already earned. All the while corporate profits are up and and CEO salaries are up. Our founding fathers established this Country to escape the aristocratic tyranny of one King George. Now we are coming full circle and looking at a new King George.
