Shine the Spotlight on the Left's Corporate Cronyism Agenda

Though it was reported as news, the left’s 2014 blueprint isn’t novel – it is the same strategy they’ve employed with varying degrees of success for decades. The New York Times provides a helpful summary:

House Democrats are reassessing their electoral strategy based on a major internal research project that shows their candidates stand a better chance when they portray Republicans as unsympathetic to the economic situation of working Americans while protecting the wealthy.

If “protecting the wealthy” is code for corporate welfare, then these so-called strategists may want to check some congressional voting records. America’s political left – from Blue Dog Democrats to radical progressives – tend to be among the most supportive of corporate welfare.

Take the recent House vote to reauthorize the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), which subsidizes private domestic companies investing in foreign countries. Every single Democrat (except one) voted in favor of a corporate welfare machine Milton Friedman once called “special interest legislation of the worst kind.”

The only problem with that...the Republicans are just as bad (not conservatives, but GOPers). Make this charge and their amnesty plot goes up in smoke.

This “Cooperation” forced though it may be with big business is a carbon copy of the Nazi programs of the 1930’s, Krupp, Volkswagen, Messerschmidt,Farben, etc. Survival at any cost.
