You'd have a better chance of domesticating a racoon.

Fair competition makes the world go around. At least as far as keeping a cap on inflation. Why was Obama's health care unaffordable? Because it funneled health care insurance business out of the competitive market and into the hands of who the government wanted to be rewarded with the business. No competition and you get extortion which is inflation without constraint.

The other sure way to inflation is socialism which controls the means of production, does so with massive inefficiency at the same time it destroys the will of the individual to be productive. Who wants to be productive when others enjoy the fruits of his labors without putting forth the work.

The oxymoron of this all is that rampant capitalism where the richest purchase the largess from the government to remain the richest is just as much a form of socialism as the purely ideological variety. Here corporations co-opt the government to control the means of production. The last variety of this was Nazi Germany. Adolf Hitler would have been nothing without corporate backing from Germany and other countries including the United States.

Our country works best when corporate interests are constrained. It has been the stripping and manipulating of anti-trust laws that have enabled the corporate takeover of our government.

Most on this board call the Left liberals. They aren't, at least not really. They are the new fascists. They derive their political clout from the corporate super wealthy. Don't believe me? Buffet, Gates, Soros, Jobs, and others of their ilk are their benefactors. Their total ignoring of law, their attack on the persons (and their families) who disagree with them, the very use of PC authored by Joseph Goebbels, the seizure of the media as their first targets of acquisition, the control of information, all of it has come before, and it was in Germany with the rise of Hitler.

It's time to quit calling them liberals, they are the Nazis. They are the fascists, and the form of government we are headed towards is socialist, but of the National Socialists variety. They've gone after our children indoctrinating them in public schools and universities. Teaching them their doctrines and instructing them to be dismissive of the values of their parents who are old and part of the corruption they wish to strip away.

Watch out. In the world they offer the mature and elderly are the new Jews. We are the only ones educated before their brain drain took over and we shall be the first to go. Obamacare targeted the elderly for passive genocide by the withholding of treatment for various diseases past ages as young as 55.

The Jews were targeted in Germany because they represented some of the poorest and some of the wealthiest. Hitler needed to either put the poor to work or kill them. He chose to put poor Germans to work and kill the Jews. Here the need is to eliminate those who truly know the truth, because they've fought it before, and it happens to be those who also have a great deal of the public's wealth which is now easy to steal because it is tied up in corporate banks and investment firms. Kill the elderly, take their savings, and keep their children as serfs in your new workplace, use them to fight your wars, use them as cheap labor, and get all of your expenses back through rent and insurance.

That's their plan. It's going to be up to us to stop it! But until you see them to be as vile as Hitler you won't get politically active to stop them. They are democrats and republicans who see themselves as part of the ruling class and dance to the tune of the pied pipers of corporate conglomerates.

But they are hard to stop. Why? They employ your children!

I wouldn't go quite as far as you. But you are basically right. Obama became the first openly National Socialist US president. Favored corporations, punish the rest. And they use Trump to excuse their anti-Constitutional behavior.

I was talking to a Jewish friend before the election about all the things like the firing of conservatives for things said outside of work, firebombing of Republican HQs, shutting down Trump rallies. He put it best. A lot of "brown-shirt" activities.

I think the Democrats underestimate how many see that. Instead they accuse Trump of doing what they are doing to try to justify and obscure their own actions.

It really started during his first election when Black Panthers showed up at polling places as sign of intimidation the same way Hitler's brown shirts (the SA) under Rohm did during the Nazi's first elections for the Reichstag.

The constant surveillance being employed to create lists, or recorded so snippets could be used if a particular individual becomes a threat to the regime, is all eerily reminiscent of the Gestapo's early work within the Reich. The seizure laws on the books now are also very similar to the dispossessing of the accused so they couldn't use assets for defense.

It's gotten very tight since 9/11.

People might actually be more comfortable if thy knew what liberties they did or didn't enjoy. How much freedom of speech is there before you go on list of the unhireable. It's very National Socialist now that a corporation may terminate you without cause, and then you can't even have access to what they tell future prospective employers about you. There ought to be total transparency for both things the employer says about the employee and what employee's say officially about former employers. It's so jaded one way no that the many workers essentially have no rights. I've had to help people whose lives have been crippled by unscrupulous employers who wanted to silence disgruntled employees.

How much will Facebook and other social media continued to be used to search any candidate or person's remarks to find something that might be construed as inflammatory. Will remarks made 30 years ago before some terms became socially sensitive be the which hunt standard so that the culture of the past may be judged by the culture of the today? The slippery slope of how these things are being framed and spun today in order to destroy lives is purely a Nazi tactic.

And remember the first victim of these tactics is freedom of speech. It's not just a Miranda moment that says anything you say can be used against you, but rather is as if they say "snippets of anything that we can take out of its original context may be used against you". And if that's the case it's best that all citizens remain silent. No speech is safe speech in that kind of political climate. German families frequently turned up the radios and passed notes within the house rather than even speak openly in their homes. And the technology today makes a whisper in bed to your honey audible to most listening devices.

The push back on Trump is called the Deep State. It would be more appropriately titled as the Deep Reich.
