Do not fear health care reform. The GOP’s argument for smaller government becomes meaningless when you realize the government is now nothing but a tool. Uncle Sam is the puppet. Uncle Sam is a fictional character. It won’t be too long before Disney owns the rights to him. Maybe it does already.

We are a socialist nation. All kinds of services are provided to you at the simple price of a big pot we all contribute to through tax dollars. We are a capitalist nation. We buy, buy, buy and enable corporations to get bigger and bigger, leaving us with fewer choices. The spotlighted issue of health care demonstrates the bridge between these types of systems. Should we burn it or reinforce it with better cables?

As a whole American economy growth during this period was impressive, economic growth that contributed to the expansion of the largest corporations. The period witnessed the American economy overtaking the British, and German economies in terms of output, modern practices, and profits.

Although foreign investment slowed as a result of the First World War, it had being a major advantage up to 1913. For instance 19% of British investments went to the US between 1911 and 1913 (Hobsbawm, 1987 p. 348). Increased profits made it an advantage for American corporations to get bigger in size.

Welcome to Magic Kingdom where good prevails over evil and everyone lives happily ever after. This is a place most people associate with good wholesome family values, a nice community, a safe environment and an exemplary lifestyle.

Disney, unfortunately, is a classic example of Karl Marx reflection of the world. Marx predicted in the mid-1800s that society will forever be capitalistic, unless workers unite and overthrow their bosses. Hopefully this revolution will happen soon, as conditions in Disney are only getting worse.
