YOU WANT TO KNOW THE OVERALL REAL BIG PICTURE IN 2017 AMERICA IN A NUTSHELL? FOR STARTERS, "USA TODAY" IS NOT WORTH BUYING. WHY? BECAUSE LIKE ALL NEWS IN AMERICA, IT IS CORPORATE OWNED AND SLANTED, NOT MIDDLECLASS, SMALL BUSINESS OR WORKING FAMILY, SLANTED...IT'S JUST LIKE ALL THE REPUBLICAN CORPORATE OWNED MAJOR NEWS IN THE USA... SO, TRUMP SAID HE IS AGAINST SOCIALISM. WHICH IS WHEN THE GOVERNMENT OWNS BUSINESS. BUT, WHAT ABOUT REVERSE SOCIALISM: WHERE BUSINESS OWNS THE GOVERNMENT (WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE NOW), ISN'T THAT THE SAME THING? INDEED, THIS IS ALSO CALLED FASCISM, A NATIONALISTIC GOVERNMENT RUN BY BUSINESS [A FASCIST OLIGARCHY, LIKE NAZI GERMANY]. TRUMP'S FASCISM IS PROMOTING RACISM AND GUN DEATHS, WHICH ARE GOING TO EXCEED 40,000 THIS YEAR, A NEW HORRIBLE RECORD. SO TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE DOING THE BIDDING OF THE BIG CORPORATIONS WHICH PUT THEM INTO OFFICE, EITHER WITH LOTS OF MONEY FOR FALSE ADS SLANDERING DEMOCRATS OR, IN TRUMP'S CASE, BY CONSTANTLY GIVING HIM FREE COVERAGE OF HIS TWEETS ALL THROUGH THE ELECTION BY THE CORPORATE OWNED TV AND WRITTEN NEWS...BE THAT AS IT MAY, HOWEVER, A SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE SYSTEM LIKE MEDICARE IS NOT SOCIALISM, WE PAY FOR IT OUT OF OUR PAYCHECK DEDUCTIONS AND BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T OWN THE HOSPITALS (AS IN SOCIALISM) OR THE DOCTORS, NOR DOES IT OWN THE INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT YOU WILL STILL DEAL WITH TO COVER THE COSTS THAT MEDICARE FOR ALL, WOULD HAVE... I KNOW, BECAUSE I GET MEDICARE AND I STILL PAY BLUE CROSS INSURANCE MONTHLY AND WITH COPAYS TO COVER THOSE GAPS, AND THEY DEAL WITH MY (PRIVATE) DOCTORS TO COVER ME. THAT IS NOT GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP, JUST SINGLE PAYMENTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT. WHICH SAVES MONEY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY 19% INSURANCE PROFITS FOR THE RICH WORTHLESS INSURANCE EXECUTIVES (UNLESS I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING WHICH IS STILL NOT COVERED)...SO, THE ONLY SOCIALISM IS THE PRESENT FASCIST CORPORATE REPUBLICAN SOCIALISM IN THIS COUNTRY TODAY, WHERE CORPORATE OWNERSHIP OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE TEAPARTY/LIBERTARIAN PARTY (WHICH KOCH CORPS. OCTOPUS CREATED, BRAINWASHED, PAYS FOR AND OWNS). WHICH ALL RESULTS IN OUR PRESENT STATE OF FASCIST SOCIALISM IN AMERICA TODAY... WHY, BECAUSE VOTERS CONTINUE TO GET SNOOKERED BY THE CORPORATE NEWS MEDIA SLANTED "NEWS" TO GIVE THE CORPORATE REPUBLICANS CONTROL OF ALL OUR STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES, EVEN THE SUPREME COURT IS REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED.. TODAYS' AMERICA IS SIMPLY NOT A DEMOCRACY ANYMORE. THE HUGE, GIANT INTERNATIONAL REPUBLICAN CORPORATIONS OWN ALL THE BUSINESSES BIG AND SMALL, PRETTY MUCH AND ALSO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND GOVERNMENT. HOW DOES THAT AFFECT PRICES? WELL, TAKE GAS PRICES, THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CAPITALIST COMPETITION TO WORRY ABOUT ANYMORE, SO THEY CHARGE US WHAT THEY WANT; BECAUSE THEY NOW FIX MONOPLY PRICES AND DON'T HAVE ANY REAL REGULATIONS FOR WORKER SAFETY OR QUALITY OF PRODUCTS AND WORKPLACES, OR ANY REAL REGULATIONS OF AIR AND WATER POLLUTION. WHICH IS SO BAD NOW, ESPECIALLY IN TEXAS, THAT THE WATER GIVES YOU FLESH EATING MERSA AND THE AIR CAUSES YOU TO DIE YOUNG LIKE A LIFETIME SMOKER AND DRIVES THE CLIMATE HEAT UP AND UP, AND THE SEA LEVELS TO RISE. HURRICANES ARE CAUSED BY HOT OCEAN SURFACES, 80 DEGREES IS NEEDED, SO THE HOTTER THE OCEAN'S SURFACE THE MORE HURRICANES WE HAVE. YOU MUST SMELL THE BULLCRAP FROM TRUMP, RYAN, LIMBAUGH, FOX, SAVAGE, MCONNELL, CORNYN, AND WAKE UP AMERICA. STOP VOTING REPUBLICAN AND VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT, ALWAYS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ACCUSE THE DEMOCRAT OF, IT'S ALL MORE CORPORATE REPUBLICAN BOLONEY, LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL AND TOBACCO DANGER DENIAL AND ON AND ON. WE HAVE A REPUBLICAN CORPORATE FASCIST SOCIALISM NOW AND WILL SO LONG AS THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL OUR GOVERNMENT.. THE FACTS ARE AS SIMPLE AS THAT..CORPORATE CONTROL IS THE GOAL OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THEY WORK FOR THE CORPORATIONS ONLY.THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL FOLKS... MORE REAL FACTS BELOW...
