DAVID CAY JOHNSTON INTERVIEW

He's a writer for the NY Times and has done a remarkable job exposing the plutocracy in America. His latest book, Free Lunch, continues that work and he more or less summed up GOP economics in this interview with Amy Goodman:
That’s not market capitalism, which is what Ronald Reagan said he was going to bring us. He said, you know, government’s the problem, we need markets as a solution. Well, that’s not the market. That’s corporate socialism. And what we’ve gotten is corporate socialism for the politically connected rich—not all the rich, the politically connected rich—and market capitalism for everybody else.
