The one factor that is not mentioned effectively is the symbiosis between superbussiness and government. While both the fledgling Senator from ma. and the president have alluded to it, neither is willing to actually take credit for the fact that taxing the rich is code for sorting out the competition. In every law they foist, they enrich their friends and use the power of law to impoverish their enemies. This corruption is as old as governments among men, and as shameless proverbial prostitute in church, who is not nervous at all, she’s just marking turf.
