"Politicians Claim America is “'Broke' to Justify Layoffs and Draconian Cuts in Critical Services."

commentary by Roger Erickson

PRWatch is calling for a "Robin Hood Tax."

They don't seem fully in-paradigm with modern currency operations, but the title line really caught my eye. It's the first mainstream sentence that speaks truth to ignorance. This may be a start, even if PRWatch doesn't fully grasp the implications of what it is saying.

Now if they went on to say that an ignorant, paranoid Upper Looting Class everywhere is mindlessly set on over-taxing and under-funding all perceived competitors ... they'd be even closer.

Sadly, that's moving too fast for 99.999% of all electorates, whose minds aren't even heading to the station yet, let alone boarding.  In fact, they don't even appreciate the value of a train system, nor the national security threat of a failed adaptive rate.
