Comments about the lack of money are transparently absurd. The U.S. spends more money on the military than the rest of the world combined. Aid to Israel continues at record levels. Billions are available for giant agribusiness subsidies. Tens of billions are available for the bailout of Wall Street investors who are holding Mexican tesobonos, junk bonds.
Corporations pay fewer taxes today than they did thirty years ago.
The tax code provides numerous loopholes. The notion of the market is applied selectively. The political system imposes welfare, tax writeoffs, subsidies and bailouts for the rich and market discipline for everyone else. This system, incidentally, is supported by both political parties. The attack is highly politically charged.
