As I’ve been working on the Hall of Fame book” Whose
knowledge counts in Government literacy
policies.” Something finally came together for me.
The basic political aim of the military industrial oligarchy
is to diminish governmental controls and taxation on their business activities.
Romney ‘s only carrying out this mission. They don’t just want to limit
government- in fact they want government to provide them with contracts and to
protect their access to markets. What they don’t want is regulation of how they
conduct their business, pay their workers, or accumulate their wealth. They
want to move easily without
restrictions across borders, producing their goods where labor is cheap
and selling them where prices are high without
having to support the economic, social, health and educational needs of
their workers or anyone else who they don’t need as employees or consumers. And they want
to stash their wealth where it costs the least to keep it there and it won’t be
taxed.
This is of course the ultimate goal of capitalist economics; and the rest of us are chumps who won’t take
responsibility for ourselves. In this context anyone on
a government payroll or anyone getting support from any kind of social
program is at the best of no interest and at worst an enemy.
In that "Off the cuff" speech to those fat cat donors in Florida we finally see what Romney is really running for.
