Just as before the Civil War, we had "The Slave Power," today we have "The Corporate Power"—politically based, oddly enough, in the same region of the country, and using a lot of the same methods: gerrymandering, militarism, whining about big government while parasitic on it....

Though a Thug, Bloomberg has an interesting notion: the Blue States should get back from the Federal government the same amount of tax dollars they give it. Since, after all, the Blue States subsidize the Red States... Not spot on for dealing with The Corporate Power, but a blow at the Red State politicians who front for it.
