Oligarchy In Action: Corporate Tax Cuts, Dr. Paul Krugman
What we need going forward is for voters to elect candidates who are committed to reversing the downward spiral of oligarchy. Realistically, this means electing Democrats who are committed to raising taxes on the wealthy. Beyond that, it means rejecting Democrats … who accept tainted corporate campaign funds and sweetheart perks bestowed on themselves and family members. Furthermore, once in power, Democrats must pass laws that stop lawmakers and their family members from engaging in corrupt enrichment.
