"The Bush administration is demonstrating that it can operate
successfully on two fronts, fighting the war on terrorism and at the
same time embarking on fundamental economic reform [tax cuts]."--Grover
Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform
We live in a confused world and this world is getting more and
more confused under the Machiavellian agenda of Bush&Co and their
neo-uber-alles friends of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)
and the Project for the New America Century (PNAC).
We have already mentioned that economists at AEI have determined
that inequality is a determinant for economic growth and we have
already mentioned that political scientists at PNAC have determined
that American domination of the world is a determinant for world
peace. Therefore, inequality is the economic doctrine shaping
American domestic public policies as implemented by endless tax
cuts, and world domination is the doctrine shaping American foreign
policies as implemented by endless wars.
The inequality doctrine has the same significance as the
privatization drive of the Free Market and the world domination
doctrine has the same significance as the policing of countries
disconnected from the Free Market. In other words, Steven Miller
defines this right wing agenda of Bush&Co as focused on the three
main points:
- The government would revert to the sole role of protecting
property and sovereignty through the use of its police/military
power.
- Shifting the burden of taxation from capital to consumption.
- Creating a new world order in which narrow nationalist goals
are achieved through unilateral and pre-emptive use of the US's
military power.
This new world order is a scary world. President Bush double
speaks to the people, Americans are being more disliked abroad, the
world economy doesn't look good, people are still dying in Iraq, and
the larger right wing agenda is getting clearer.
