The Devastating Consequences of a Corporate Health Care Bill the dust is starting to settle, and the Congressional vision for health care in the U.S. is emerging. Instead of being “progressive,” it will amount to a massive, corporate-inspired attack on American workers, the elderly, and the poor.

The Drive to Eliminate Social Security Accelerates Each new day in Washington brings a fresh call to "reform entitlement programs" -- Social Security, Medicare, etc., (in Congress, the word "reform" now means to eliminate, or drastically reduce). Tackling Social Security has been on the to-do list of the corporate elite for years, and they're not waiting any longer.

The Death of Liberalism in the United States It's no exaggeration to say that President Obama was the Democrats' last chance to maintain some level of political legitimacy in the eyes of working class Americans. Now, after a year of solid pro-corporate policies, it's obvious Obama has failed; and with him the Democratic Party.

Why Are Corporate Groups Funding the Tea Party? Glenn Beck's attempt to denounce labor unions -- especially the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) -- and other working-class organizations as "Marxists" and "extremists" is not an accident. Some sections of the U.S. corporate elite view these groups as having too much power, especially in the context of the still-continuing Great Recession.

The Origins of Modern Socialism The specter of socialism is again haunting the minds of the corporate elite, from the Americas to Europe and beyond. This, after decades of pro-capitalist campaigning from the corporate media, which has always confused "capitalism" with "freedom." But of course freedom and democracy cannot exist alongside tremendous inequalities of wealth -- or next to corporations wielding absolute power over elections and governments.

Nobody thought this paradox was worth explaining; instead, the media's attitude was "more good news" about the economy.
