Politically encouraged


Tomgram: Andy Kroll, Welcome to America, Sucker

"...unrestrained magical thinking..."

I like that. Just the kind of thinking approved of by free enterprise.

The U.S. government, peopled with politicians who are run themselves by corporations (think Haliburton, for instance) create laws that allow this sort of crime to flourish. When these crimes are discovered, and they always eventually are given their very nature, the politicians stand up in outrage and ask how it could have happened.

Countries run by crooks for the advantage of crooks. Government has become the highwayman of the current century...
