There was a time, 40 or 50 years ago, when this article would have sounded like the hyperventilated ravings of a college Marxist revolutionary wanna-be. It is chilling to realize that today, it is a cold, hard rational statement of the plainly observable facts. Of course, even back then it would have been the nascent truth, but there was still some rationality and human concern in the Republican party then, and there was bi-partisan legislation being passed that benefitted the people. Today it's brazen, undeniable, without even a serious attempt to veil it. Only those who refuse to see can be blind to it.

Republicans' guding premises are: 1) Every man for himself. Let me in the lifeboat first. 2) What's mine is mine; what's yours is mine also. Pure unadorned greed.
