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.
