Informed Comment: The Great Reagan Pyramid Scheme Comes Crashing Down

Informed Comment: The Great Reagan Pyramid Scheme Comes Crashing Down
The Republican Party that Nixon
invented melded the moneyed classes
of the Northeast with the white
evangelicals of the South. This odd
couple went on to simultaneously steal
from and oppress the rest of us. The
moneyed classes were happy to let
the New Puritans impose their stringent
morality, since they could always just
buy any licentiousness they wanted, regardless of the law. And the New Puritans were so
consumed with cultural issues such
as homosexuality, abortion, school
prayer and (yes) fighting school
desegregation that they were happy
to let the northeastern Money Men
waltz off with a lion's share of
the country's resources, consigning
most Americans to stagnant wages and
increasing debt. The Reagan revolution
consolidated this alliance and brought some conservative Catholic workers into it.

Please read the full post. It explains
so much. then vote, and vote for Obama!
amen
