The Goldman Drama

David, you never take to task your party's amoral ideology and behavior. You always seem to be trying to minimize what no one will really talk about in the press and media: the right wing's ideology, the centerpiece of which is class warfare - elitism based on their skewed and twisted values, none of which are Christian, and their goal of creating a permanent ruling class - the very thing that our country was founded to fight against. The easiest way to accomplish that is to put most of the country's financial wealth into the hands of a very few, and that is the goal in the lying, cheating, manipulating, obfuscating behavior of our corporations, certain members of government and Wall Street. The only freedom they champion is their own and their goal is to make the rest of us financial slaves. They have succeeded. Many, many, many of us are truly struggling to pay bills and just keep afloat, and I don't mean just the ones with mortgage problems. Many of us are not making it - more than anyone cares to talk about. Your party spearheaded all of this in the 1980s and encouraged the irreponsible actions of Wall Street and the banks through the first 8 years of the 21st Century. They knew what they were doing, all the while so many ignorant people who purchased the homes they are defaulting on now didn't. The corruption of our morals and ethics started right at the top of our corporations and government and did "trickle down" to those of us at the bottom. We are living Ronald Reagan's legacy every day and they are dark days indeed.

There are a few nits to pick but the perspective is right.

Corporations have no minds. They are financial structures.Managers are people. Bankers are people. People can execute policy. Government is a body of law. Executives take actions. Bureaucrats execute laws, policies and rules.

Hereditary aristocracy and titles of nobility are unconstitutional but I have not checked.
