A Decade Far Worse Than a "Big Zero" (1999-2009)

It was the decade when the country experienced the corporate take-over of everything -- every value, every human interaction, every institution.

Bush stacked the Supreme Court with two relatively young Justices who can be counted on, in perpetuity, to rule against people and in favor of corporations every time their interests clash. He also stuffed the federal judiciary with torture enthusiasts, religious fanatics, and corporate servants.

It was a decade when a new Gilded Age took hold led by Robber Barons far worse and rapacious than any of those associated with the turn of the last century.

Where do we go from here? It appears to me that the structure of a very repressive Fascism is in place and that our Corporatist Government will use it to quell dissent and continue to rape the working class.
