In response to Harold Kitson's letter:
Neo-con Economic Policy for Dummies; Deregulate a financial industry, and when the greed you engender costs taxpayers billions, blame others for your reckless policies, and when the greed you engender costs taxpayers billions, say that the remedy is further deregulation. And once you drive your corporation into the ditch, stand there with your hand out to the government.
By taxing the poor at the highest levels you can, and then send that money to the rich in the form of tax breaks is the easiest. Then you can remove services for the poor, which reduces government spending and results in more money to give to the rich. Greed is good!
Decrease the net burden of taxes on all citizens but shift the cost of government down onto low/middle income workers with lower salaries. Big Oil and Big Auto and Big Banks. Lastly cry socialism propaganda.
Two things the Republicans are good at: Transferring wealth to the wealthy; 2. spreading propaganda that persuades us to vote against ourselves.
See how simple Republican economic policy is?
Republicans preach a one-sided capitalism better known as plutocracy. They want private citizens to fend for themselves in the jungles of the "free market," but then provide heavily subsidized corporate welfare for so-called "private industry." The bigger and more powerful the corporation, the more they are protected from the market by their bought-and-paid-for politicians.
If American corporations lived by the same Darwinian rules that Everyman is supposed to live by, many of them would shut their doors today and be bought out by more competitive, honest and efficient players. Instead, these swine feed at the taxpayer expense and then return the favor with heavy campaign donations to keep their friends in power. A corporate and global banking shrill.
The USSR "lost" the cold war because they could not keep up with the U.S. and meet the needs of the Russian people. This whole time we were told what ended the Cold War was Reagan asking someone to knock down a wall, which was already in the process. Gorbachev pointed out that it was Chernobyl that took down the former U.S.S.R.
Markets don't regulate themselves - they exploit their advantage to the disadvantage of consumers. It has been proven time and time again. As well as the fact that the Republican Party has never stood for the people on Main Street in middle America but rather the Republicans serve to pleasure and aggrandizement (enhance the wealth) of Wall Street. Wall Street showed it has no idea of how money is generated (workplace and farmers).
Or, in the words of the GOP economic gurus of the past 20 years, "I got mine, too bad about you."
Republican economic theology is not complicated. Republicans intentionally transfer wealth from the poor to the rich, a kind of mix of fascism and feudalism. Yes, it's dishonest and hypocritical; they know that, and they are not troubled by it. The best Republican isn't even as good as the worst Democrat on economics.
Socialism means that the workers own the means of production which are operated for the benefit of the people rather than the profit of the few.
Privatize the profits, socialize the risk.
Here is the thing, nine out of the last 10 recessions have happened with a Republican president in office.
"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." - George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 12, 2008.
