FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED

A democracy exists whenever those who are free and poor are in sovereign control of the government; an oligarchy when the control lies in the hands of the rich and better born.”—Aristotle

NEOLIBERALISM

 

There is an evil afoot, neoliberalism.  It is neither new nor liberal, but the organized effort of multinational corporations and international banks to increase their profits.  Through the WTO and IMF (their tools) they have set out a broad agenda and won support through bribes in the form of loans.  Attached to these loans are the neoliberal policies.  In the developed countries their influence is founded upon the dole given by the multinational corporations to the political parties and their candidates that are receptive to their programs. 

 

Greed is greed, and what benefits one group lobbies for comes at the expense to society.    Our media, owned by 5 corporations which support neoliberalism, has sold the public on the virtues of neoliberalism.  California Skeptics are publishing articles which show why you shouldn’t be sold on their policies.  Analysis of the effects of these policies in both developed and improvished nations have shown that rather than improve the standard of living they have lowered it. Populace movements in South America have rejected those policies.  Articles on the WTO and there opposition have been published by us.  For a pod cast, and articles by an organization connected with Ralph Nader.  

 

These policies have resulted in the out sourcing of jobs, the flood of tariff-free goods, the flood of undocumented workers, the reduction in the pay for skilled labor, the breaking of unions, the reduction of social services, the reduction of corporate taxes and the tax on the top 1%, and the financial burden and instability associated with a national debt that is 7% of our GDP.  There is an evil afoot, neoliberalism. 

 

 Neoloiberalism is in the main the economics adopted by neoconservatives.  And as the saying goes there is nothing new under the sun, neoconservatives goes back to the industrial revolution.  John D. Rockerfeller and Herbert Spencer and others proposed policies similar to those of modern neoconservatives.
