GEO928: other than the tax breaks for the wealthy mythology, the article was accurate. I encourage you to jettison the linear left/right political spectrum and view economic policy and political policy as not always the same. It comes down to statism verses personal liberties.
It was the ultrawealthy who wrote and got the tax codes passed. That was to keep the up and risers from being competition in both business and politics. It's out of the secret societies playbook and it was presented in coded language by Marx.
