I think Bill is wrong--the supremes knew exactly what they were doing.

"The Gilded Age is back. Welcome to the plutocracy."

In the political jargon and propaganda of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and the Communist International, western democratic states were referred to as "plutocracies", with the implication being that a small number of extremely wealthy individuals were controlling the countries and holding them in ransom. "Plutocracy" replaced "democracy" and "capitalism" as the principal fascist term for the United States and Great Britain during the Second World War. For the Nazis, the term was often a code word for "the Jews".

Are you seriously suggesting that someone who thinks this video demonstrates plutocratic tendencies are themselves antisemitic, totalitarian and/or fascist?

Where I used to work. Prior to the last Presidential election the owner sent a memo saying that if Obama won and put his tax plans in place he would have to fire over 350 people, and encourages everyone to vote for McCain. Of course Obama won, and in early 2009 he let go the normal holiday help. Come 2010 he fires 350+ people, most just holiday help, but now a large number of regular workers as well, he also sends a memo about how the company can't afford to give raises and beyond that the cost of living went down, so nobody gets raises. He then goes out and buys a private jet and another mansion. When the governor of Ohio is up for election he then blames the sitting Democrat governor for those 350+ job losses in a new memo and again encourages everyone to vote for the Republican candidate. 2011 250+ people fired, again no raises though no memo for that but we do get one about health care costs. This new memo reads the same as the memo on health care costs every year, how it went up twenty some percent but they managed to hold the line at only a small 5% or so increase, except this new memo says right after the bit about how it went up twenty some percent how "we don't agree with the policy of Obamacare" even though that didn't contribute to the cost increases that year at all, and the percentages were the same as the year before. I considered it voter intimidation. I left the company early in 2011. In 2012 450+ fired, a large part of which were regular employees and not just holiday help, and still no raises. I haven't asked anyone who is still there, but I would guess he sent another memo this year about how Romney can fix the economy and how we need to get Obama out and undoubtedly blames Obama for the over 1000 jobs lost since he took office while ignoring the fact he fired those people just to have a jet.
