Going to War with the Political Elite You Have
(May 14, 2007)
To paraphrase the recently departed Secretary of Defense:
"You go to war with the political elite you have.They're not the elite you might want or wish to have at a
later time, but as you know, it's always the same elite."
Wait--what did you just say? Let's consider this thesis:
The "two-party system" is a travesty of a mockery of a sham, a con
perpetrated for the consumption of the peasantry.
I am a peasant, so I say this without irony. It is not demeaning, it is
reality. What makes me a peasant? Do I own sufficient means of
production or capital to live well without labor? No. Do I owe a vast sum of
money? Yes. Do I pay more tax than a hedge fund manager who "earned"
$360 million? Yes. (When the 15% FICA self-employment tax has no ceiling, and
15% of that $360 million goes to FICA, let me know--but don't hold your
breath.) Am I politically powerless? Yes. I could go on, but you get the idea.
