Open Letter to President Obama

Mr. Obama, it is my observation that the Republican Party is now waging a War of Terrorism against the old, the sick and the poor people of America. 

It is threatening to shove the people of America over the cliff of historic prosperity into the abyss of financial misery unless they, the Republican Party, get the American public to give up the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and many other entitlements they have earned and built – PLUS – agree to never raise taxes on rich people or corporations again.  

The Republican Party is declaring that the American Government is now dead, and they are the rulers of a new American Fascist State.

We have learned the hard way, and many other countries have too, that to give in to terrorists - and that’s what this threat rightly is - only encourages them to continue to demand some other trophy, and then another and then more.  Eventually, we will HAVE to fight them.  

My take on this is to let it happen now.  Let the country fail and lose its “full faith and credit”, let the rest of the world fall with us into another great depression. Even THAT would be better than to remain dangling and twisting, being picked apart, bite by bite, by those who have sold their own souls to corporate greed and who are busy building a purely fascist nation.  Fascism needs leaders and it need workers.  it does not need – indeed, it  cannot tolerate – a middle class.  

We know how to build a country.  We can do it again.  We can build a new world, and we can build one that operates without its “full faith and credit” being devoted to the great corporations that need wars and prisons to increase their profits.  The old industrial world has changed now anyway.  The great age of industry based on oil and coal, nuclear power and big automobiles and endless highways is diminishing, it is clearly ready to transition into a different engine of power.  New industries beckon us to enter into a new economy increasingly powered by solar and wind energies and using information technologies and new advances in medicine.  

We would eventually evolve into such a condition anyway, but not if we are workers in a fascist state making millions and billions for our corporate owners.
