He has struck out into politics per se.
Great move, since economics is way too straitjacketing, in times like this.
He's not spouting myths, such as small businesses and large numbers of clever and resourceful entrepreneur maverick Executives pulling the US out of the depression.
Question is: Why would mostly not-that-wealthy politicians
(barring folks like candidate Greene, in Florida, with his own yacht already, living the American Dream down there)
want to give big tax breaks to only the very wealthiest, knowing the truth might somehow come out?
The prospect of campaign contribution alone aren't enough of an explanation, in that there are plenty of other breaks, concessions, and credits available to these folks already.
How about another explanation, or two, do a sort of 'possible worlds' scenario thing, here, for these elected old darlings:
If you were rats, seeing the handwriting on the wall, and preparing to abandon a sinking stultifera navis, and you saw a few very well provisioned yachts floating nearby, where would you swim, figuratively speaking;
or, another scenario,
through the mist, entre chien et loup,
if you saw with horror that what you had thought were merely yachts, were really gunboats or destroyers, about to commandeer the stultifera navis by force, captained by lackeys of these wealthy individuals, to whom would you be more likely to suck up, fellow passengers on the navis, or the owners of these yachts, or destroyers?
Or would you 'just say no' to these tax breaks, hold your 'course', and
"Damn the torpedoes! Full Speed Ahead."
Say just for a further illustration,
that the stultifera navis is the Minnow,
we are all castaways now,
and the 'Skipper', Congress.
