- A Swede's Narrow View On American Politics
-
- A six year old girl has become a symbol for the raving madness of the
- United States of America. Elisa Izquierdo had no chance. After being tortured
- for months, she was killed by her own mother, a colored woman with drug
- problems and all the problems you can think of at the bottom of the american
- society. The surrounding noticed what was happening, but never intervened.
- The stories the witnesses and forensic medicine doctors tell has even made
- the toughest people shiver. It's okay that vegetable merchants get shot for
- petty cash for crack and heroin. It's okay that subway ticket booths are set
- on fire, including those inside. But when someone torment the life out of a
- six year old? Please. No more.
-
- While New York shops for christmas in a state of agony over the pictures
- of Elisa, Washington argues over the federal budget. President Clinton is
- trying to save what can be saved from welfare programs out of reach for the
- republicans' crusade. Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole want to balance the budget
- for seven years and at the same time, lower the taxes with 245 billion
- dollars. People like Elisa and her mother are squeezed tighter and tighter
- in order to get the strong and well-educated more money to spend. "The
- republican revolution" is more than a cliche. Newt Gingrich's "Contract
- with America" is more than an empty threat.
-
- The majority that took over congress 1994, are now about to dissolve the
- last piece of America's social net. A worried and disappointed middle-class
- is supposed to point their anger down, towards the junkies, the unemployed,
- the criminals, the single teenage mothers, the immigrants and other parasites,
- while the republicans disarm the federal power. It's negativism and contempt
- for politicians raised to politics. A sure way of tearing down an already
- nervous society even more. The Gallup-president Clinton has been forced to
- go along - he promises unnecessary tax reductions of 105 billion dollars
- himself - but still appear as a liberal angel compared to the opposition on
- the right wing.
-
- The United States of America has developed in two phases. First, 150 years
- of wild individualism, then six decades of attempting to form a fellowship,
- with milestones like "New deal" and "Great society". Newt wants the Wild West-
- phase back, and has come far in only a year. Freedom for the capital,
- discipline for the individual and everyone for himself. The social net has
- turned into a hammock, he thinks. Poverty and crime can be traced to poor
- social economics and too mild sentences. The single, sick and poor are to
- blame for the fact that America goes to hell!
-
- What the republicans are trying to do, is a replay of the 1981 tax-
- reductions, only this time marketed with Gingrich's cold grin instead of
- Reagan's warm smile. Reaganomics was a con-trick back then, and it still
- is. If you lower the taxes and leave the military alone at the same time,
- there's no way you can balance the budget without painful cuts in other
- areas. And because the individual interests usually manage to defend
- themselves, it's the future and the social contract that is going to be
- cashed in. More and more people will start and end their lives like Elisa
- Izquierdo. The shrinking middle-class will have a tougher time isolating
- themselves from violence and misery. Finally, the holy economy will suffer
- the effects as well.
-
- The previous governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, described what the
- republicans are up to with the United States of America in a bitter book.
- It's not a pretty picture of the future, but the ex-governor concludes,
- rightfully, that people like him are always safe. "I can move away from
- the violence. The hospital care will always be there when I need it.
- The fish and the woods will live long enough to satisfy me. Those who
- wrote Contract with America tempt us fortunate ones with the luxury of
- individualism and indifference, so why not surrender? Why not? Honestly,
- because I see their invitation as an insult. How dare they strike at our
- fear and frustration? How dare they think so low of us?"
-
- Anyone expressing himself in such a way doesn't stand a chance and gets
- a label saying "extremist" in the United States of America today. The
- welfare society is rated as low as the politicians are, but sooner or
- later the wind will change. Cuomo for president.
