Kick Out the Kooks and Bigots

By Robert Reich, Robert Reich’s Facebook Page

27 September 15

’ve often been accused of being too optimistic, but consider:

Following months of a Republican presidential primary filled with racial and ethnic bigotry, abject narcissism, and obscene amounts of campaign money, comes a Pope reminding us America has been a nation of tolerance, humility, and fairness – and all but asking us to reject Trump, Carson, Huckabee, and the rest of the terrible lot.

After years of a growing civil war in the Republican Party between right-wing whackos and big-business conservatives, the GOP begins cracking up. The Speaker of the House resigns, big business Republicans are up in arms, and the rest of America sees just how phony and unprincipled the Republican Party has become.

Bernie Sanders continues to surge. (Yesterday I met with Latino and black students who told me more and more are watching his speeches on YouTube and backing him because he’s the only candidate who will make real change in America.)

The fight for a $15 minimum wage continues to gain ground. The NLRB has decided franchise workers can organize and negotiate with franchise owners. Courts across the land are siding with workers who have been misclassified as “independent contractors.” Cooperative businesses and “B” corporations are thriving.

Okay, maybe I am being a bit too upbeat. We have a long way to go before remedying what’s wrong with America. But I’ve always held to Martin Luther King Jr.’s belief that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” I have enormous confidence in the basic decency of this land. History shows whenever Americans understand what we’re up against, we put ideology aside, roll up our sleeves, kick out the kooks and bigots, and get on with the hard task of making our economy and society work for the betterment of all.

I think the rightward tide that began with Ronald Reagan is now turning. What do you think?

      try going to any another country ILLEGALLY and find out what happens to you!! It’s a felony to be in Mexico illegally and has a PRISON SENTENCE ATTACHED TO IT, then after your up to SIX YEARS OF PRISON, DEPORTATION!
      So it’s ok for them but not for us to enforce immigration laws!

      FU!

      how about…. cut off all benefits, no more food stamps, sec 8 housing, medicaid, or schooling for anyone here illegally, anchor babies unfortunatly are legal, so they can stay, but the parents cannot, they have choice to take kid with them, or leave it here, but either way, they have to go.. no benefits, and no jobs for them, they will leave on their own, and cops do not even have to hunt them down…. just when they find one, deport immediately…. and if they contact anyone in this country, that person is also checked for legal status, and deported too if not.

      far as minimum wage goes…. if wage basically doubles to 15 an hour, than those who already make 15 an hour need to double to 30 an hour also, … and those making 30 double to 60, etc…. people did not learn skills or go to school to make double, or quadruple min. wage, just to end up making only min. wage, or only double instead of 4x…. they deserve to keep the ratio above min. wage that they EARNED for themselves, if you EARNED 4x min. wage pay, then you deserve to keep 4x min. wage pay, no matter what min wage goes too….
