Obama’s Budget Plan: A “Kinder, Gentler” Corporatocracy

American society seems to have degenerated to the point that it resembles a massive factory floor, or plantation, rather than a sovereign country of free individuals. The extent of democracy is now limited to choosing who gets to be the foreman. The real bosses are far beyond the reach of, and accountability to, the American people.

America’s two competing political factions only differ on how much they are willing to openly exploit the workers in order to cater to their corporate masters. Where conservatives strive to win favor by imposing cuts on the workers with a complimentary kick in the teeth, the democrats prefer to take those that suffer aside, hand them a cold drink, and slip them a five dollar bill from the widows and orphans fund. You’re still screwed in the end, one just feels a little better.

Washington is no longer in charge. The political institutions do not administrate according to the will and benefit of the people; nor do they act as responsible stewards of the peoples wealth of natural resources. Our political establishment simply supervises the population as a labor force to be taxed, and manages the natural and human resources for the benefit of the corporations and financial institutions. Americans, and the product of their labor, have become nothing more than collateral against the debt accrued by those that get bailed out by the workers hard earned tax dollars.

Where conservatives seek to blatantly disempower the workers by attacking their collective bargaining rights, so that they can drive down wages and the cost of human resources and production (health care, social security, unemployment insurance, etc), the Democrats try to placate the workers in order to keep them happily producing for the corporations. It’s like two different business plans; One settles for moderate profits for the sake of volume and long term corporate profit, and the other seeks maximum quarterly profits with little concern for long term viability.

The conservative version of social Darwinism, fear based sociopathic self-centeredness, and ideological proclivities towards exclusivity, predisposes them to short-term profit hoarding. The Democrats tendencies to exercise their ability to empathize, by sharing the pain, while avoiding the ‘rocking of any boats,’ lead them to establish a system that spreads the misery out over a longer period of time in order to minimize the impact, but enable long term servitude.

Conservative methods will bring American society to the point of being a company town, the likes of the old coal mining towns, where the company owned everything from the citizen’s place of employment , to the shanties they lived in, to the general store they accrued more debt to the company at. For a chance at the possibility of maybe gaining the bosses favor, the conservatives will sell out their entire community with their justification that freedom equals every person for themselves.

The difference is the same as that of the brutal slave owner versus the supposed benevolent slave owner. One wields their authority with a whip and a club, and the other exploits their slaves with a few extra blankets, shoes for their feet, and an extra chicken for the pot every week. The end result is the same. A subservient work force maintained at the lowest possible cost.

Obama’s speech did nothing more than describe how the Democrats hoped to get the workers a couple more blankets, another chicken in the pot, and allow the elderly to stay on and live with their children rather than get sold off for glue. Anyone cheering needs to reassess the value they put on their own existence and the value of their birthright. Every American is an equal shareholder in the only corporation that should matter. The corporation of the citizens of the United States of America.
