It's for the benefit of the few.

It's a theory. One that I think is being practiced. By Republicans. Keep pushing through popular tax cuts. So there's less and less money to finance government programs. Yes, run up the nation's debt. So the federal government becomes insolvent. Goes bankrupt. A neat way to sabotage government. And to get exactly what the selfish conservative Republicans desire. Activist Grover Norqust claims conservatives want to get government "down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." Economist Paul Krugman discusses this theory in a column in the New York Times. Krugman is on to something, it seems to me. Click below. Read the column. Really, it helps explain why Republicans are obstructionists. They don't want to fix government. Instead , they want to wreck government. To annihilate it. So that greedy private sector capitalists can seize total control. And manipulate us all. Without government interference or regulation. In order to make money. Obscene profits. The idea is to allow corrupt individuals to become super rich. At the expense of others. To widen the gap between the rich and the poor. To exploit the many for the benefit of the few. --Jim Broede
