ATLANTICA: DEMOCRACY'S END GAME

Just when you thought globalization, the North American Union and the SPP were a looming threat (and they are), along comes THIS: "An alliance of big business owners" that is "openly plotting the economic Mexicanization" of the Northeastern U.S. and Eastern Canada. (I miss the United States of America. I hope it will live on in legend and in song.) Workers and farmers in the United States and Canada have been largely kept in the dark about the tragedy unleashed on their counterparts in Mexico with the 1994 entrance of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). But the same all-out screwing is about to happen to them. An alliance of big business owners is openly plotting the economic Mexicanization of an important region of the Northeast US and Eastern Canada. They call their new world “Atlantica,” and have imposed their borders around it as if drawing a new “country” on a Risk game board. Here’s the map of “their” new country, not one founded upon democratic decisions, but with orders barked from an unelected elite of corporate flunkies whose only law is to maximize profits for the owners. In other words: the minimum wage must be abolished, labor unions must be crushed, and state governments must be stripped of the resources and/or authority to enforce environmental, labor and consumer safety protections. Low tax and pro-business New Hampshire is held up as embodying the ideal Atlantican way to govern a state while “Vermont’s tax regime” is singled out as a chief obstacle to Atlantican dreams.
