George Washington: Oh hi, Ben Franklin! Abe Lincoln and I were just saying how taxes should be cut for the rich again. Ben Franklin: Wealthy and wise, George! Money is Speech Theater
Money is speech and if the government has all the money they will be the only one speaking just like in places like Cuba, North Korea, or the ex-USSR….
Two points Oscar:.There are plenty of rich like George Soros on the Progressive Left that dump cubic dollars into pushing that segiment’s views. Singling out the Koch brothers is myopically dumb..Second, the Progressive Left has been, historically, the source of about 90% or so of all dictatorships and oppressive government in the last 200 + years. If any portion of the political spectrum should be feared as to intent it should be the Left on the basis of historical results.
Why is it that the ones in government and on the Supreme Court who are so interested in protecting the wealthy are conservatives? Teddy Roosevelt would be a flaming Liberal in today’s world!
Yes, I know he had beliefs that would be anathema to many liberals, but he sure COULDN’T survive in today’s Republican party! He’d probably be 3rd party!

“Anyone who can convince people who can’t afford a pot to piss in that rich people need a tax cut is a true leader.”
