The Malignancy Known as Friedmanism

must be excised from the body of American political life or the country will die economically. It's that simple.

Friedmanism does NOT work, it was tried before, hence the Great Depression. All of the regulations necessary to help capitalism survive were tried, and the country thrived. A safety net was put into place to make sure millions would never fall through the cracks. The rich were in the 90-percent bracket by the 1950s although their actual tax liability was much lower. Still, when the wealth was redistributed downward, as it was most of the 20th century, this country had the greatest prosperity it had ever known. Now that the economic boom has been reversed because of an insane ideology, our country (indeed the world) is on the verge of total ruin.

The last thirty years of economic policies MUST be reversed for this country to survive, but the neolibs have bought off BOTH political parties. Our elected officials who created the mess to begin with seem hostile to reverse course.

If they don't do it, well, millions of Americans may end up forcing the issue.
