Conservative policies are making us poor and poorer,
Who counts and who doesn't count? We hear so much about the "middle class" but rarely about the plight of the poor. And of course we hear again and again that the wealthy are "successful" and the "job-creators" who shouldn't be "punished" by being asked to give something back to the country that enabled their wealth. Conservative "market" thinking and Ayn Randian "the poor are losers" dehumanizing ideology has become pervasive and dominant as we transition from one-person-one-vote democracy to one-dollar-one-vote plutocracy. In this plutocratic environment the national discussion of tax cuts for the wealthy saturates the corporate media, while the 44 million of us in poverty now are barely mentioned and count for little.H/T Seeing the Forest

So that nasty slit Rand considered that serial killer the perfect human, a superman. That explains the presence of so many sociopaths in the GOP. Why can't we lock them up to protect ourselves from their evil? It makes perfect sense.
Interesting find on that Hickman thing, UL - - good work!
