would this really happen in a democracy??? --> Big Wall Street banks are so upset with U.S. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren's call for them to be broken up that some have discussed withholding campaign donations to Senate Democrats in symbolic protest, sources familiar with the discussions said.

How America Became An Oligarchy

i saw this article in 3 places today: zerohedge, here, and infowars of all places.

infowars is funny, they talk anti government quite often and how they love capitalism, but they are also against the banksters, and they even put this article up on the front of their website which talks about worker cooperatives...

I found the article at Counterpunch as seen at the link I posted. Many consider Zerohedge a libertarian site, Counterpunch a left wing site and Infowars a right wing site. Yet all 3 posted the article?

The article quotes a radical free market economist in Murray Rothbard while also quoting Gar Alperovitz who considers life after capitalism. Now where might Rothbard and Alperovitz merge?

Why does one article appear to bring 3, maybe even 4 diverse groups and put them on the same page and united against a specific entity? And if one article does that, are there or have there been others?

Does one dare to look? Does one dare go down that hole?

Not going down that hole unless an iron-clad system is put in place to force a balanced national budget and each new spending bill requires funding and all bills requiring other governments (State and Local) to do something must also be funded.
