What Ro Khanna Said, For A Good Start

 IF YOU LOOK AT THE MASTHEAD of my page you will read 

LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE 

which is more than just a slogan,  I am completely certain it is necessary to save us from the increasing and disgusting inequality AND SO CORRUPTION that is running the United States.    INEQUALITY IS A GUARANTEE OF CORRUPTION, IT IS ONE OF THE MAIN SUPPORTS OF CORRUPTION AND A LOT OF THAT HAS COME FROM THE LIBERTARIAN LIBERTY NOTIONS OF LIBERAL DEMOCRACY.    

What Ro Khanna said about the increasing buying of elections, the increasing buying of politicians, the increasing buying of our government and the courts and the Supreme Court is a product of the liberal democratic,  ACLU supported corruption that was brought in by Supreme Court rulings starting with the Sullivan decision creating a "right to lie" by the corporate media,  the "RIGHT TO CORRUPT OUR ELECTIONS"  in Buckley v Valeo and the increasingly corrupt rulings that are in that line including the well known ones like Citizens United and a host of lesser known ones. 

I don't think there is any accident that the out of control billionaire ownership of the government that came in the wake of those rulings that legalized lying in the mass media and the buying of elections THROUGH ADS SOLD BY THE MASS MEDIA and those "First Amendment," "free speech-press" rulings from idiots like the members of the Warren and Burger Courts - almost all of them never having run for public office - believing that more lies and more money (they also created "money speech") in our politics WOULD LEAD EXACTLY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHERE THEY HAVE LED OUR COUNTRY.  

The billionaire tax on the ballot in California is a start but it is doomed to failure if that line of Supreme Court rulings is not abolished and we make it costly for the media and the billionaires and millionaires to lie and spread lies and to drive out money from our politics.    But it is a start - one which I will bet you anything the Supreme Court finds some legalistic blather to overturn because the Supreme Court is controlled by the billionaires who have bought the Republican-fascist majority.   Though I would like to think that at least some of the Democrats on the Court would realize the folly of the Warren and Burger Courts' rulings in this area.
