In other words, conservatives say more people — and society — will get a better outcome if government gets out of the way and private companies manage things like education, health care, retirement savings, even fire protection.

STATE "STINK TANKS" EXPOSED How many times have you read or heard in the news something along the lines of "a new report from the Institute of Free Markets and Liberty finds that giant corporations and billionaires create jobs if given tax cuts," or how about your classic "Toxic Sludge Is Good For You"?Well guess what, a new report from an actual, honest think tank exposes a national network of corporate PR firms masking CHARTER SCHOOLS' BILLION-DOLLAR FRAUD STINKS WORSE THAN WE Photo credit: Gage Skidmore / flickr / cc. Earlier this year, when members of Congress repeatedly confronted U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos about a study finding the federal government’s charter school grant program had wasted an estimated $1 billion on schools that had never opened or opened and quickly closed, she dismissed the findings and accused the report authors of AMERICA'S DO-NOTHING SENATE Remarkable--and tragic--statistics. Understand what's being said here. There are over half a MILLION Kentuckians who would benefit from a hike in the federal minimum wage--yet Moscow Mitch declares the bill DOA because passing it might "slow the economy." WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH "FREE TRADE"? Our country’s “free trade” agreements have followed a framework of trading away our democracy and middle-class prosperity in exchange for letting the biggest corporations dominate.

HOW BIG CORPORATIONS TAKE YOUR TAX DOLLARS Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bernie Sanders, castigator of the one percent, is a millionaire now. So are Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren. Big whoop. There’s a crucial difference between these candidates seeking the Democratic presidential nomination and the super wealthy – particularly 60 gigantic, massively profitable U.S. corporations.These candidates faithfully pay federal taxes. AMERICA IS ALREADY SOCIALIST, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING America Is Already Socialist, And That's a Good Thing. During Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech, many of the old, white, Republican Senators and Representatives must have gotten more exercise than in weeks, jumping to their feet to applaud almost every sentence of the endless rhetoric.

DEATH BY INEQUALITY: POVERTY AND RACISM ARE KILLING A new report concludes 600,000 American children have died for no reason. An entire city of children has been lost. This is the real “death tax”: It’s a tax on poverty, race, and powerlessness. STATE "STINK TANKS" EXPOSED The Stink Tanks. The report, titled Stinktanks.org, exposes the State Policy Network (SPN), an $83 million web of right-wing "think tanks" in every state across the country. These organizations present themselves as nonpartisan, objective and scholarly, But instead of being actual, honest "think tanks" all of these organizations arefunded by
HOW GOVERNMENT "CONTRACTING OUT" DRIVES UP COSTS, PUSHES When a government "contracts out" – privatizes – one of its services, that is supposed to save taxpayers money. A new study finds that privatization not only costs governments more than it saves, it has forced millions of people into lives of poverty. BUSH VS. OBAMA ON THE ECONOMY, IN 3 SIMPLE CHARTS [UPDATED Under Bush, the employment-population ratio dropped 3.8 percentage points, from 64.4 percent to 60.6 percent. Under Obama, it fell another 2.4 percentage points by October 2013, but since has regained two-thirds of that loss and now sits at 59.7 percent, slightly short of where Bush left off.
