38. That Bush's policies are savagely consistent:

maximum concentration of wealth for the global oligarchy, maximum reduction of the rest of us to maximum powerlessness and maximum degradation.

Bush's policies may vary from locale to locale but at their core they are everywhere the same: in America -- outsourcing, downsizing, salary reduction, pension-looting, destruction of the social safety net, skyrocketing prices; in New Orleans -- withholding of levee-improvement funds, withholding of disaster relief, salary reduction by executive order, further destruction of the social safety net, skyrocketing prices; in the Middle East -- squandering the (working-class) lives of soldiers and civilians, aiding the global oligarchy by providing a rationale for skyrocketing prices, imposing theocracy on Iraq, supporting theocracy in Saudi Arabia, facilitating theocracy throughout the region by allowing Osama bin Laden to escape.
