How the Economy has become Hostage to the Rich

Click through for an amazing in-depth look at how the economy has become the hostage of the rich and how Republicans pandering to the 1% have adopted the strategy of "We're going to get what we want or the country can go to hell" by following up on the ideology of Grover Norquist (the "fiscal terrorist") and other anti-tax pro-rich ideologues. Article is kind of long, but I promise it's worth the read.

Sarah Palin on Occupy

So, never thought I'd say this, but Sarah Palin is making sense:

"I've learned from local, state and national political experience that the only solution to entrenched corruption is sudden and relentless reform. Sudden because our permanent political class is adept at changing the subject to divert the public's attention—and we can no longer afford to be indifferent to this system of graft when our country is going bankrupt. Reform must be relentless because fighting corruption is like a game of whack-a-mole. You knock it down in one area only to see it pop up in another...

This call for real reform must transcend political parties. The grass-roots movements of the right and the left should embrace this. The tea party's mission has always been opposition to waste and crony capitalism, and the Occupy protesters must realize that Washington politicians have been "Occupying Wall Street" long before anyone pitched a tent in Zuccotti Park."

Why does everyone always ask the same question?
