1. If you follow the news, you must have caught a glimpse of the endless parade of spray-tanned, smiley-faced fascists talking about what these country really needs to yank food from the tables of working families with children so we can hand more tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans & their oil companies so they can whip up trailer trash into a lynch mob against our president whom they hate because of his skin.
2. You, being a generous, logical human being who doesn't hate women, might look at the financial crisis and blame it on banksters who have made it a habit to create bubble economies to continue to generate wealth on paper without having to do tedious things like actually build wealth, on the grounds that actual wealth-building takes too long and requires hard work---the sort of thing that belongs to the era of higher marginal tax rates and hefty labor movements.
3.The context for this is a discussion about the evils of social welfare spending that allows the people who build wealth through labor to enjoy some of the fruits of that wealth through taxing people who build wealth through capital and hoard most of the wealth for themselves.
