"The middle class and working poor are told that what's happening to them is the consequence of Adam Smith's 'Invisible Hand.' This is a lie. What's happening to them is the direct consequence of corporate activism, intellectual propaganda, the rise of a religious orthodoxy that in its hunger for government subsidies has made an idol of power, and a string of political decisions favoring the powerful and the privileged who bought the political system right out from under us."
-- Bill Moyers, Keynote speech, June 3, 2004
Common Dreams
Note: Common Dreams

I've always wondered if the corporations have any way of forcing their employees to vote a certain way or lose their jobs.
In these days of more intricate software, I'm not sure it isn't happening. When you realize that the average Canadian is earning some $50K - $70K, why would they want to vote for the right wing.
It's not in their best interests. The only ones that benefited from Bush's tax cuts were the upper middle class to the extremely wealthy, plus corporations.
(That means that there are a hell of a lot of people out there that earn less than the average.) With these numbers, we can win any election.
Every time !!
It really is that easy.
Count the number of people that earn more than $70K and then count the number of people that earn less than $70K and then see where we are.
Someone has to change the law regarding what corpn's are allowed to get away with.
This can't continue. We all seem to know that, but we have to make it happen.
We will someday. Hopefully, not too late.

People we have to wake up, the percieved rich in this country don't have a clue, there are not mass numbers of people rich enough to deal with what is coming. That money is all tied up in a few people's hands, so we better all start to think of ourselves as the working poor...or vote for NDP and pray that many others will too.
