Rich get richer, we pay their taxes
[ via Doc Searls ]
John Edwards has something to say about who will be paying the taxes if things continue their already unstable course. It's the story about tax cuts for the rich but the post seems to present itself as a complete package. It summarizes the effect of what Arianna Huffington writes about in Pigs at the Trough. If I would have read John Edwards' piece, I would've read Arianna's book sooner.
To set some things straight, I don't think Republicans are completely to blame for the fattening of the pigs. It's greed and corporate interests wrapped in an American flag. Everyone certainly should have the opportunity to get filthy rich but not at the expense of me or other hard workers. In fact, this article on cnn.com talks about a project at the MIT Media labs that aims to form a massive information repository on people in our government. For now feast your eyes on opensecrets.org if you're curious about who donated money to your elected official's campaign.
