Introduction: The Founders Declarations of INTER-dependence
Errors now dominate our politics. They weaken our hold on once self-evident truths. And blind us to the logic of the declarations of INTER-dependence that the Founders built deep into the nation’s defining documents...
1. The Politics of Parts & Good Government
Lincoln didn't say “for your part of the people.”
2. Politics & Taxes Aren't All About You
A rational response to the logic of our national interdependence.
3. Free Market Free Riders
The “free” in free markets is frequently not the good kind of free.
4. Good Rich versus Bad Rich
The rich are as replaceable as you or I.
5. What the Wealthy Use Welfare For
We're all in this safety net together, along with the wealthy.
6. Corporate Maker-Takers
Personal responsibility preaching whiny, tiny-minded, titan “maker-takers.”
7. Competition's Creed
Competition frequently creates foolish costs and undesirable outcomes.
8. Corporations Just Can't Help Themselves
Most of us have never met a psychopath, but most of us work for them.
9. Truths About Lying In Politics
What politicians do would be illegal for products.
10. Government of the Blind Leading the Blind
Does the data trump their dogma?
Conclusion: Good Government and the Logic of INTER-dependence
Human nature & what the Founders' knew about the nature of good government.
Mystic chords that connect us to our constitutional duties.
