Attempts to expand and globalize the free market over the past quartercenturyhave led to an intensely polarized society in the United States. Ineconomic terms, American workers are systematically victimized by an agendathat seeks to put more money into wealthy pockets and corporate vaults.The common practice of outsourcing jobs to foreign labor markets byAmerican corporations has left hundreds of thousands of American workerssearching for meaningful employment. On the social front, poor and workingAmericans are realizing a dire sense of hopelessness derived from a domesticpolicy agenda that aims to end social welfare. The introduction of welfarereform laws that place unreasonable demands on poor and workingAmericans have ripped away any reliable safety net during a time where millionsof workers are in need of valuable assistance. In addition to theseeconomic and social consequences, the neoliberal agenda has also launchedan all-out attack on the democratic institution in America. By encouragingthe practice of corporate lobbying and campaign financing, neoliberalism hascreated a political landscape where the interests of corporations take precedenceover the interests of the people. Consequently, the American electoratehas been rendered impotent in a political game where money equals democraticpower.
