| Ideas are costly, especially bogus ones. And a growing class of billionaires is more than willing to pay.
Whether
they’re ginning up deficit hysteria to cut Social Security or blaming
teachers and firefighters for state budget crises, these 1 percenters
pose as defenders of your interests while arranging things so that they
can plunder America and leave hard-working people with scraps. They
fully understand mechanisms of manipulating public opinion, and they can
pay off pundits and politicians to subscribe to whatever ideas best
justify their greed and abuse.
It’s not enough that we now have
the widest divide between rich and poor in living memory. These men are
determined to crack open that gulf even wider.
