Well stated Ron. Here in Wisconsin we are seeing this first-hand as our (not so noble) governor Walker strips equal pay for women, collective bargaining rights for public workers, and generally takes steps to transfer wealth from the working class to the elite. The Republican party has designs to do similar things nationwide, and they are holding up Walker and his actions as a shining beacon for their paradigm of what our nation should be. Add to this that our US supreme court has ruled that corporations are now people, and in Wisconsin Republicans can now intentionally enter elections as Democrats to blatantly thwart fair election processes, and one can easily see that we have taken some giant steps backwards, and our nation is poised to continue this trend. Crack open the history books indeed!! Unless you're a major corporation, the average "person" is powerless to stop what's happening now.
