Have Cake, Eat It Too 1
In the Tampa Bay Times, Robyn Blumner ruminates on the contradiction of Republican Economic Theory. Follow the link for details:
That’s the only conclusion I can draw from years of listening to business-oriented groups meeting with the Tampa Bay Times editorial board with the same conflicting agenda: demands for lower taxes and fewer government protections for workers, consumers and the environment while calling for a more educated workforce, modern infrastructure and cities that attract the creative class.
We have an entire political movement dedicated to the belief that those who have the most deserve a free lunch.

Like the Republican Party, our business leaders need to be all thrown out, largely. They’ve been indoctrinated for decades and there’s nothing that can be done to fix it. They have no interest in paying people more money so they can, like, buy stuff and pay taxes that support a national government set to develop a country and an economy. Now that basically austerity policies have given them every wish on lowered taxation and deregulation and crashed the middle class, all they can think is to keep asking to add more leeches to the sick body.
