Those who are pushing the policies driving the further division of wealth in America are cruel, stupid and evil. Either that or they are our national enemies, because they really seem to want the country to become a failed state. It just doesn’t make sense any other way any more.
There is no religion or morality that exists that says it is right to attack the struggling poor to benefit the already wealth-bloated rich. But we have loads of people – experts! – proposing literally taking food out of the mouths of poor children by cutting food stamps, experts! who say we will not, will not, will not, raise taxes on the rich one cent.
There is no sane economic policy that says it’s good for a country to ruin its education system and infrastructure. But we live in a country where we have increasingly been doing that for 30 years for the sole purpose of giving ultra rich folks more tax breaks.
America used to be admired for it’s strong middle class. Not now. Not after several decades of tax policies and economic shenanigans favoring the wealthy over everyone and everything else.
Our very language has been warped to convince us the economy is getting better when the only better about it is for Wall Street while everyone else suffers. And forget how the numbers are being manipulated!
I’m sorry, but it is just plain evil. I don’t know how they sleep at night. I really don’t.
