Stop the undemocratic Super Committee!

The super-rich 1% have plunged us into a debt crisis by refusing to pay their fair share of taxes even as they strain the budget with wars, corporate welfare and bailouts. Now, the crisis they created is their excuse to force us to accept austerity measures.
Led by the Koch brothers and using the Tea Party as a front group, they succeeded in passing a bill that set up a Super Committee charged with drafting legislation by November 23 to slash $1.5 trillion from the federal budget.

If the Super Committee fails to produce a budget reduction plan or if the plan does not become law, spending will be lowered by $1.2 trillion, with $109.3 billion in cuts per year, half of which, $54.7 billion, comes from military spending and the other half from the rest of the budget. These cuts affect both mandatory and discretionary spending with proportionate cuts to both, but Social Security and Medicaid are protected while Medicare providers would see, at most, a two percent reduction in payments.

Why the Supercommittee Should Disband

Defense Contractors Pay Little To No Corporate Income Tax While Earning Billions
Fraudulent defense contractors paid $1 trillion

The dozen Super Committee members are the targets of countless corporate lobbyists and campaign donors working to protect defense contracts and industry subsidies while encouraging spending cuts and privatization for Food Stamps/SNAP, School Meals, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

In the last three months, the Farm Bureau and Biotech have spent $700,000 to influence the Super Committee and stave off cuts to direct payments for commodity producers (most are huge corporations growing Monsanto's genetically engineered crops) by gutting nutrition programs for hungry people.

If Congress had to put each of these deficit reduction measures to a vote, they would lose. Maintaining corporate welfare and tax breaks for the richest 1% by looting programs that serve the working poor and unemployed in a time of economic crisis isn't a good reelection strategy.

The Senate recently voted 84-15 to cut farm subsidies to anyone with an average income over $1 million. They voted 58 to 41 to defeat cuts to Food Stamps/SNAP.

The Super Committee process is designed to avoid votes like that. Congress will have to vote up or down on the debt reduction package without amendments or filibuster.

The Super Committee shuts down democracy. We need to shut down the Super Committee!

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has introduced legislation to do just that (H.R.3201). Here's her argument:

The Tea Party is Fascist, and it's taken over a major political party.

This is serious, major and should not be overlooked. After the last Republican debate, which I watched all of on Youtube, I was more frightened then ever. I felt after they booed the gay soldier, and then no candidate on stage come to his defensem that if they were in the same room as him I would feel for his safety. It's very frightening to hear people be cheered on stage splurging out such hateful remarks and fascist principals that we fought against during world war II.

Scroll down to the section on "Core Tenets" in the wiki article. Let me quote some of the most troubling.

Abortion, eugenics and euthanasia
"The Fascist government in Italy banned literature on birth control and increased penalties for abortion in 1926, declaring both crimes against the state.[170] The Nazis decriminalized abortion in cases where fetuses had hereditary defects or were of a race the government disapproved of, while the abortion of healthy "pure" German, "Aryan" fetuses remained strictly forbidden.[171] For non-Aryans, abortion was often compelled. Their eugenics program also stemmed from the "progressive biomedical model" of Weimar Germany.-----"
^-- one of the biggest fights ideas in the Tea party

Culture, sex and sexuality
"-----Fascist movements and governments opposed homosexuality. The Italian Fascist government declared it illegal in 1931.[190] The Nazis argued that homosexuality was degenerate, effeminate, perverted, and undermined masculinity because it did not produce children.[191] They considered homosexuality curable through therapy, citing modern scientism and the study of sexology, which said that homosexuality could be felt by "normal" people and not just an abnormal minority.[192] Critics have claimed that the Nazis' claim of scientific reasons behind their promotion of racism and hostility to homosexuals is pseudoscience.[193][194] Open homosexuals were among those interned in Nazi concentration camps.[195] The British Union of Fascists opposed homosexuality, and pejoratively questioned their opponents' heterosexuality.[196] The Romanian Iron Guard opposed homosexuality as undermining society.[197]"

^--- As seen at the last Republican debate by the booing of the crowd to the gay soldiers question.

If you read through the article and compare Side by Side the views of the "Tea party" and the way the republicans are being forced to lean the trend is becomming more and more obvious.

We need to fight this now. We can not sit here idly by and let this happen, fascism should not be allowed to grow this freely. We have to rise up and put an end to this before they take control of the government. Even Moderate Republicans can see the trend. We have to fight this or I fear for our country in 2012 when the tea party takes the House/Senate/Presidency.
