The article from CounterPunch, titled "Conservatives and Liberals Have a Common Enemy," argues that despite their ideological differences, both conservatives and liberals share a common adversary in the form of corporate power and the influence of big money in politics. The author posits that this shared enemy undermines democracy, erodes personal freedoms, and exacerbates economic inequality. The piece highlights how corporate interests often manipulate political processes to favor deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, and policies that prioritize profit over public welfare. It suggests that both political sides could potentially unite against this pervasive issue, advocating for campaign finance reform, stronger antitrust laws, and policies that protect workers and consumers. The article calls for a recognition of this common ground to foster a more collaborative approach to tackling systemic issues that affect all citizens, regardless of their political leanings.
