The Wisdom that went un-noticed...
The sky high tax rates on the Ugliarchs in the mid-century was an effective curb on the influence of the obscenely wealthy on our politics. The "long arc of History" had been twisted into a Dollar-Sign, and the decisions going forward will be of, by, and for the Wealthy, as jobs are taken by machines the workers are surplused and made "useless eaters". This point needs to be made in Spades. This road ends in a cul-de-sac.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
