1910 Income Tax Promised To Never Shift Burden From Richest 1 - 4%
Alan: If you are reluctant to share Lincoln's original Republican view of labor-and-capital, you are more interested in ideological obfuscation than the clarification of Truth.

"Walmart: America's Real Welfare Queen"
Alan: Few American conservatives believe that The Top 1% of the population receives 24% of tax expenditures while the poorest 20% receive only 3% of tax expenditures - an 8-fold discrepancy favoring the rich.
Rather than believe that The Top 1% receives 8 times the tax dollars that the poor receive, they will resort to "alternative facts," whole-cloth falsehood, stonewall denial or wishful thinking.
In effect their secular religion obliges them to believe ("on principle," and completely independent of the facts) that poor people are bleeding them dry and if only these parasites would "get a job", conservatives like themselves would all be rich.

Alan: Next time "you" wish you were eating steak instead of hamburger, remember that eight of America's richest people are getting a free lunch for every freebie given to America's poorest people.
You believe what that rich people are admirable -- and poor people -- contemptible because your credal ideology depends on falsehood.
In addition to The 1%, take a look at the other "moochers"....

Red State Moocher Links: Time For The "Confederates" To Look In The Mirror
Alan: People bamboozle themselves by thinking there's no need to study hard-and-long to learn what's going on behind the plutocratic smokescreen.
Ideological presumption and sound-bite recitation (routinely reinforced by Fox News) comprise the slipperiest slope to self-destructive political entanglements whereas regular reading of intellectually rigorous history is a sine qua non for getting a grip on reality.
"The Bamboozled" prefer to believe -- as anti-intellectuals have always believed -- 1.) that deep learning is inferior to superficial "common sense," and 2.) that "opinion trumps truth."

Franklin Delano Roosevelt: The Last Time America Elected A "Democratic Socialist..."
“Caution in handling generally accepted opinions that claim to explain whole trends of history is especially important for the historian of modern times, because the last century has produced an abundance of ideologies that pretend to be keys to history but are actually nothing but desperate efforts to escape responsibility.”
