FROM TIKKUN
RABBI LERNER:
What Dems should have been saying, and could still say, is this: the aim of the Republican Party is to destroy government so that it can no longer be a check on the ruthless aims of the corporate elite who will pollute the planet earth and destroy the life support system of the planet for your children and grandchildren and will lower the wages and incomes of the middle class endlessly in order to enrich themselves. Government has been doing a poor job at constraining them, but at least it is some job, and the 1 percent , the people who own 40 percent of the wealth of this country, they don’t like being constrained in their selfishness, so they want to disable government from being able to demand a living wage for workers, a safe work place, food that is not poisoned by unhealthy additives, and air, water, and land that has not been polluted by corporations to maximize their profits. Well we are not going to let them do this.
