Today's guest op-ed by Thomas Frank in the NYT picks up on the need for "class issue" politics for the Democrats which interesting I discussed yesterday (below) on this blog....
The Democrats can win on:
NATIONAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL SECURITY, RATIONALIZING DEFENSE SPENDING, MINIMUM WAGE AND JOB SECURITY, AND STOPPING THE BLEEDING OF CAPITAL OUT OF THE US;
AND I WOULD HOPE A "PAY TO PLAY" APPROACH TO THE LUCRATIVE US CONSUMER MARKETS... THERE SHOULD BE A "TARIFF" ON IMPORTS TO PAY FOR AMERICANS NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE!
THE DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE IF THEY PERSIST IN TRYING TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT OF THE NEOCONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST...AND ACTING LIKE "REPUBLICAN LITE" IN THE COMING DEBATES...
IT'S TIME FOR SOME CLASS WARFARE IN THIS COUNTRY!!
AND AMAZINLY, IT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE RICH AS WELL TO RECONSITITUTE THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC BASE!
WALMART SHOULD BE A BIG BACKER OF DEMOCRATIC POLICIES...! WALMART COULD BECOME EXTINCT IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS IF THE CURRENT IMPOVERISHMENT OF THE WORKING AND MIDDLE CLASSES CONTINUES...AND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL IS ALLOWED TO LOOT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY EVEN MORE....
