The fight to keep a democracy from turning into a theocracy has to start with the people who have the money and want a theocracy to further control the masses. Jerry Falwell Liberty University donated $639,520.749 to a political action committee, America Family Association’s Donald Wildmon donated $17,955.438, Pat Robertson’s Christian Regent University $487,152.266, Beverly and Tim LaHaye’s Concerned Women for America gave $15,062.805, Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council gave $14,255, 533, James Dobson’s Focus on the Family donated $92,316,686, Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition gave $3, 375, 131, Jay Sekulow’s American Center for Law and Justice donated $57,731,904, Tim LaHaye’s Council for National Policy gave $2,169,909, Ed Meese’s Alliance Defending Freedom gave $47,687, 860.
These people want to control your life. They are anti-union. They want religious school vouchers, which degrade the public school system, and religion taught in public schools. They are against gay marriage. They want to con people out of their money, yet keep their tax exempt status. They blur the line between separation of church and state by pulpit-based electioneering, which is a violation of federal laws.
These religious leaders corrupt the true mission of faith communities when they rail against the wage slaves, and they should lose their tax exempt status and should be paying taxes on their mansions and jets. They call for religious freedom, but they foster discrimination against some people and allow one group to control the private affairs of others.
They also attack reproductive freedom and LGBT rights. These people and their money will support the GOP anti-union, anti-workers under the guise of this is what God wants or God tells them. Do you really think God would want this? This same type of people are worldwide, in fact, some of these people are in Africa with their anti-gay/LGBT crap and ISIS destroying people lives and mankind's history.
These people have no place in elections other than voting alongside everyone else. These parasites need to be reined in. If you look at the dummying down of our society, you will see the role these people have played in brain washing people into voting against their best interests, revile unions and donate money to them they can ill afford. Having the people uneducated and trusting is how these people swindle their money. Where in the bible does it say the preacher should live in mansions, have private jets and expensive vehicles. It says the opposite, as a matter of fact.
Educate yourself and be prepared to vote. The primaries are right around the corner.
To change the abundance of labor in the world is to put more money in the pockets of the laborer to buy the products their fellow workers are making. Otherwise, when there are more products than money, there is slump in the economy. Austerity policies, low wages and automation (robots) were also of concern in the 1950s when Henry Ford II, CEO of Ford, took Walter Reuther, head of the United Auto Workers Union, on a tour of a new engine plant.
Ford gestured to a fleet of new machines and said, “Walter, how are you going to get these robots to pay union dues?” The union leader turned to Ford and said, “Henry, how are you going to get robots to buy your cars?”
This type of change in the labor has created a new type of working class that swings from task to task in order to make ends meet while enduring the loss of labor rights and bargaining rights. They are called “precariat” workers, a group of workers who live on the verge of collapse due to the instability of the nature of their job…
