Gingrich’s Class Warfare

Newt Gingrich attacked Mitt Romney for killing jobs at Bain Capital. (Which is true.) He raps Romney for “bankrupting companies.”

Hey Newt, you Republicans are supposed to worship at the feet of the filthy rich.

Gingrich himself is only moderately rich- from influence-peddling and verbose speeches. That is, a multimillionaire, not a centimillionaire like his class superior, Romney.

But here’s his real class warfare- his “tax plan.” According to the Tax Policy Center,[http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxtopics/Gingrich-plan.cfm] Gingrich’s evil scheme slashes taxes on the rich and their corporations by well over a trillion dollars, while increasing the burden on those lower on the income scale. (Don’t all Republican tax plans do that?)

But this isn’t important or interesting enough for the corporate propaganda system (aka “the media”) to pay much attention to. Like a magician, the system distracts the audience’s attention from what’s significant to what’s insignificant. They give us horse race style saturation coverage of the candidates’ daily grubbing for a few thousand votes of extremely reactionary whites in Iowa.
