"Class is a dirty word in that it gets close to the truth about who governs and for whose benefit."
-Michael Parenti

Michael Parenti interviewed by Jason Miller

In the land of those who think they're free and the home of savage capitalism, class is indeed a dirty word. Remember, we're a nation of Joe the Plumbers. If we just work hard enough and fend off those socialist vampires who want to suck us dry by redistributing our hard-earned wealth, we can all be financial successes. And if you're a faux-progressive presidential candidate-like Obama, you're doomed to political perdition unless you sign a blood oath disavowing your ties to socialism.
