Chomsky: "US is effectively a one-party system"

[Will]

SPIEGEL: Is there nothing about McCain that appeals to you?

Chomsky: In one aspect he is more honest than his opponent. He explicitly states that this election is not about issues but about personalities. The Democrats are not quite as honest even though they see it the same way.

SPIEGEL: So for you, Republicans and Democrats represent just slight variations of the same political platform?

Chomsky: Of course there are differences, but they are not fundamental. Nobody should have any illusions. The United States has essentially a one-party system and the ruling party is the business party.

Though I am loathe to take anything Chomsky says seriously, there is some grain of truth to that. If you have the good communication skills and fancy rhetoric, politics is right up the alley.

He is in some sense correct, Although I do feel that the Dems are slightly more proletarian empowering in their policies, but only slightly.

But its true, Big business controls American.


And this is why American Policy is not driven towards preserving life, peace and equality, but rather driven towards the preservation of a firms right to turn a profit, no matter what the Cost.

America creates Terrorism, Then the people blame the Arabs.
