2012 Electoral Predictions Made 07/02/2011 – What Do You Think

January 29, 2012 By Egberto Willies

This is a prediction and bet Evan Carroll & I discussed at Starbucks. It’s public now buddy. Let’s see who comes closer.

In the mean time we must not allow the Right to conflate unfettered Capitalism with Free Enterprise.
Unfettered Capitalism is killing innovation, the middle class, and the individual from succeeding.

Mitt Romney is the poster boy for the outcomes of unfettered Capitalism. He makes all the gains from packaging and selling companies. Whether they gain employees or lose employees, he profits.

I go through this type of stuff in an easy to read format in my book http://amzn.to/dt72c7. We need the electorate to not fall for the trick coming from the pilferers of the middle class that will have them vote against their own interest.

Many Liberals, Independents, Disaffected Republicans, and others are apathetic.My statement to you is to grow up and fight. Our plutocracy will not shrink from one’s silence or refusal to engage. We must accept that this misbehaving government that has giving all power to corporate interest in our doing. Getting this country back on track will be our doing as well.

Alliances with the oppressive class has always been essential for progress. Progressive whites were essential during the Civil Rights to ensure the demise of codified racism.. Progressive and enlightened men were essential to ensure a successful women’s rights movement. We have big 1% allies in Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. You must now be your biggest ally. That is what wins elections. You must not vote against your own interest.
