Mike Papantonio of Ring of Fire Radio performs a brilliant riff on the slow and methodical take-over of the Republican Party by a group of billionaire oligarchs whose grand scheme is to turn back the New Deal and destroy all the social safety nets that came with it.
Using Gaius Publius' article on American Blog as his starting-point, Papantonio shows how, beginning with Reagan and leading up to Romney and Ryan and a slew of current Republican governors, a cabal of billionaires has been finding and financially backing useful empty vessels (including now the Tea Party) to help them achieve their desired takeover of the American government. Their goal? To enrich themselves beyond measure at the expense of the rest of us. And it is a plan well on its way to fruition.
It is definitely worth a listen.
