The Big Lie...Exposed

June 9, 2011 Dear Farhad, The big lie has been fully exposed. And no - not the lie about the congressman tweeting body parts. The lie the rightwing has been perpetrating for nearly a generation. The lie that now almost all politicians the world over have swallowed like the tainted kool-aid in Jonestown. The lie about the power of tax cuts to unleash entrepreneurialism, create jobs, grow the economy and generally improve everything but sliced bread. This week we marked the 10th anniversary of the Bush tax cuts that took the Reagan supplyside “voodoo economics” and put it on steroids...and that this current administration just renewed. This week the truth is out - at least in our coverage. Watching the corporate news this week, you might have missed the analysis that proves the only economic indicator that grew with the $2.5 trillion Bush giveaway was the gap between the rich and poor. They were too busy analyzing “sextgate” and handicapping the new batch of presidential contenders. Common Dreams is committed to shedding light on these critical issues, and to publicizing the actions of the people who are fighting back against the corporate state - and winning. If you rely on Common Dreams to bring you the daily news that is important to you and the analysis that goes a little deeper. If you need the dose of sanity you find on Common Dreams to keep moving forward in your own work and advocacy please help keep us going. Not all of our readers who would like to help out are able to do so. If you can, please give generously as we are behind on our goal for this fundraiser. Common Dreams needs to raise $50,000 to meet our budget and stay on track financially, but so far we’ve raised just over $12,000. We do our best every day to bring you the news and information you can trust. Now we are asking that you join this effort by making a donation. We truly can’t do it without you!
