I

have been reading Paul Krugman's The Conscience of a Liberal, doing as I always do and skip around. He gives a good chronicle of how it is our economy is doing so shitty, why there is such a gap between the rich and everybody else, and he concludes just as I have said for years and other authors (most notably Barlett and Steele in their books about the disappearing middle class) that it is all by design, the end result of a twisted, immoral ideology by those who want an aristocracy in this country and those who utterly despise people who work for a living.

Buckley, Friedman, Rand, and all their ilk can burn in hell. They were (and in Buckley's case still is) slaves to a goddamned cult totally discredited decades ago.

And now that these selfish bastards in the economic elite are in power, they will fight to the death any effort to reverse course.

Which is why they hate John Edwards and anybody who dares challenge the status quo.
