Howard Zinn in "A People's History of the United States describes the Jacksonian democracy that we suffer under. "It was the new politics of ambiguity-speaking for the lower and middle classes to get their support in times of rapid growth and potential turmoil. The two party system came into its own in this time. To give people a choice between two parties and allow them, in a period of rebellion, to choose the slightly more democratic one WAS AN INGENIOUS MODE OF CONTROL. Like so much in the American system, it was not devilishly contrived by some master plotters; it developed naturally out of the needs of the situation."
The Jacksonian idea was to achieve stability and control by winning to the Democratic Party "the middling interest, and especially....the substantial yeomanry of the country" by prudent, judicious, well- considered reform" That is reform that would not yield too much." Does this all sound too familiar?
What goes for debate between the two parties of plutocracy over the health care issue is shown by the fruits of said debate. Health care reform has morphed into, nothing more than a boondoggle for the health insurance companies. This is not the change we can believe in, but business as usual. The Democratic Party has dropped the ball once again and not surprisingly. It was intended that they be ineffectual. What are you going to do vote the Republicans back in? The following article is why Ralph Nader is excluded from election debates. His penetrating and excoriating analysis cuts to the quick and lays bare the hypocrisy of the system.
