The Bush tax cuts
Edited on Sun Sep-26-10 11:34 AM by salinen
I understand the reasons for those tax cuts for the ultra wealthy, but I've never heard it explained on MSM. Just as nothing is explained as it is on MSM. The main reason for the gift is that it takes money away from government. The religiously reagan view the destruction of the federal government as their base platform. Capitalism in it's most pure form is impeded by government. The mega-wealthy and corporations want no shackles, and so they've implanted their own representative in Congress. I'd say somewhere around half of all congress is populated as employees of the mega.

Wars make it that much easier. Produce unnecessary fear, then built the military apparatus that the fearful demand, then start an unnecessary war or two. What a genius way to steal everything.
