...if the intention is to destroy small town businesses.

In the end, they both dry up the consumer base. It just looks like someone is trying to bankrupt this country. I'm sure that's not the agenda, it just looks like it.

1. And I'm sure it is the agenda.
The idea is to privatize everything and create a desperate, hungry
slave, cheap labor force.

2. Of coarse they are. Although to be truthful it has to be global.
They been doing that for years, they think that when government falls, private money will be in control.

They don't know the people will overrun any holder of private items and reset up a government of some form. They are stuck thinking they have some power they do not, and they think they will have that power after they complete the set up of their destruction. The removal of a safety net for billions of peoples families.

There basic philosophy is poor people with no money can not formant a resistance to anything, They think they will be depressed, and in a submissive state from fear. They don't know the transition to them claiming what is theirs is just a wake up switch that can be flipped in billions of people easily.

Like I said before, they know very little about how things work.


Also why my only claim is for the beer and travel money that is due.

3. no, I believe that IS the agenda
so easy and accepting to have a complete corporate takeover at that point. States of emergency, martial law - you can almost see the time table in front of you

4. It may not be the 'agenda' but the 'agenda' will
bankrupt the country.The agenda is: sell off all municipal and state assets to the Koch Bros. Privatize EVERYTHING. The next time some idiot starts saying "private sector can do what the government does, only better and cheaper" first remind them what went on in Iraq. Then pose a question to them, something like this - "Elected officials can be voted out of office if they do something you don't like, right? When Koch Industries controls everything you eat, drink, breathe, how much you get paid, how much you pay for electricity, what you see on tv, how are you going to change that? You will not be able to vote them out of office.

5. Lords and serfs.
They want feudalism with one big difference: That the "lords" are corporate executives and their minions, who will be the source of all governance. The result is to be the ultimate fascist's wet dream.

7. Read it again.
I said "what they want" -- not that they can necessarily achieve.

However, what they could possibly achieve if they keep pushing us in the direction we're going -- with corporate toadies in key government positions, and legislators/justices bought and paid for by corporate masters -- is close enough to what they want to be pretty damn intolerable.

They're not even really trying to hide it anymore.
