...The book Taking Back America by Katrina van den Heuvel has a chapter titled Rolling Back the Twentieth Century, written by William Greider -who also wrote The Soul of Capitalism-.
An excerpt is:
"GEORGE W. BUSH, PROPERLY understood, represents the third and most powerful wave in the Right's long-running assault on the government order created by twentieth-century liberalism.
The first wave was Ronald Reagan,...
...
They do not expect any of these far-reaching goals to be fulfilled during Bush's tenure, but they assume that history is on their side and that the next wave will come along soon...
..."
The right-wing agenda of government favoring concentration of the wealth, started by Goldwater, pursued by Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II is:
.) eliminate federal taxation of private capital, as the essential predicate for dismantling the progressive tax;
.) gradually phase out the pension-fund retirement system, starting with Social Security privatization;
.) withdraw the federal government for a direct role in housing, health care, assistance to the poor;
.) restore churches and private education by giving them public money;
(this point is similar to Hitler's position)
.) strenghten the hand of business against regulatory obligations;
(this point is similar to Hitler's position)
.) smash organized labor;
(this point is similar to Hitler's position)
.) instill fear to opposing the right-wing agenda;
(this point is similar to Hitler's and Goebbels' positions)
.) militarize U.S. by nationalizations and subsidies with public money, which makes only the U.S. military managed in a Socialist manner, everything else to be managed through fearmongering for Socialism.
(this point is similar to Hitler's position)
It's pushing for a return to McKinley Republicans, before Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1930s.
What this has in common with Mein Kampf by Hitler, is an equally driven idealogy that is loony and primitive, forcing most people's lives into miserable submission
Had I known this push for the Medieval ages that Bush II is pursuing right now, I wouldn't have made the effort to come to U.S..
I also condemn the jocksters in this thread who take Bush II lightly and for simpleton, as these jocksters being themselves brain dead about their own country.
Bush II is a small pawn in U.S. right-wing's Mein Kampf, but he is the most dangerous so far.
For example Bush II started the war in Iraq for oil and lies about it, doesn't want to cover with health insurance 6,000,000 children in U.S. because that's government controlled healthcare (what's wrong with government controlled healthcare that is better than U.S.'s healthcare?), but government controlled war (including lies and taxpayer money funding the war like if the U.S. Army is run in a Communist regime) that's peachy...
Sunday September 30 2007 The San Diego Union Tribune had such a right-wing group (including Ari Fleisher and a Jewish lobby) who pour millions into the U.S. right wing Mein Kampf.
(and hypocritically invoking fighting against the historical Hitler's Mein Kampf)
I guess that for about 200 years, soon after Jefferson, U.S. is screwed up and screws up the world.
This statement includes the next President, maybe Hillary Clinton, who inherits facts on the ground from Bush II.
