The downward slide of the U.S. Supreme Court began when the corrupt justices led by Scalia and Sandra Day O'Connor decided to block the recount of votes in Florida and made GW Bush the president of the United States. Without this decision there would have been no massive shift of the court to the far right with the justice appointments by Bush. There would have been no invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that were planned by the neocons before Bush was sworn in as president. There would not have been the gutting of the FDA and EPA and FCC by the Republicans.
A key turning point for the elites was in 1947 when the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act was passed over Truman's veto and this required the support of both political parties. With no union political power we have two parties that are feeding at the same corporate trough. It is why we had the Affordable Care Act that doubled profits for the drug companies and why the life expectancy of Americans is declining and why the country has the maternal and infant death rates that rival third world countries.
Bottom line, when the private Federal Reserve raises interest rates or Congress enacts legislation to cut taxes for the rich but increases payroll taxes by 50% as under Obama, there is a massive transfer of wealth from the working and middle class workers and their families to the elites (who are taxed at 3% with current laws). It is why we have 500,000 American families living in tents and millions that cannot afford food and medicine and rent and energy to heat or cool their homes.
A false assumption is made that the USA is a functional democracy, when by design has been a plutocracy from day one. It is this structural aspect of govenment that has poisoned the well for four centuries.
