Lisa Graves outlines the war at home--a war conducted by the Koch Brothers and their uber-rich, anti-government pals. Look closely and youll see that the American dream their political agenda would restore is a pre-New Deal fantasy for the richest few: * With fewer protections against their oil refineries, paper mills, and chemical factories polluting the water we drink and the air we breathe or obstructing efforts to do anything about the devastating climate changes underway; * With no laws requiring CEOs to pay minimum wages or sick leave to fathers and mothers who work or to insure that their kids or parents can receive life-saving health care if they need it; and * With huge tax cuts for corporations and CEOs, of course. Its a path to a third world future for most of us but a gilded one for them. Lisa is correct. Remember this: rich folks think they dont need any government -- they can buy for themselves all the protection, infrastructure, healthcare, lifestyle anyone could ever want. Its easy to be an anarcho-libertarian when you are as rich as Midas.
