CNN needs to stick to TV where its only audience is
its sycophants. When they voice their opinion
on the web, they embarrass themselves, thinking that we all just fell off the
turnip truck.
The author seems to imply that the dream of a more
economically leftward party is somehow in conflict with courting and protecting
powerful financial interests. He tries
to seem shocked that “even at his most progressive moments, Barack Obama relied
on Wall Street donations for both of his campaigns.” He implies that the talk from conservatives
about left-wing “socialism” in the White House is somehow in conflict with the
financial community opening its coffers to Democrats.
Then the piece de resistance: “A more populist economic agenda that
revolved around progressive taxation and substantial public assistance to
strengthen the middle class can only work in a different kind of political
system.” It is true that a better
economic agenda for the “middle class” would be in a different kind of political
system than we have now, but it certainly would not revolve around progressive
taxation and substantial public assistance.
The author needs to review what Baal Tyranny is
about or he just needs to admit that the secret is out.
