Reply #19: 3 hoaxes pushed by the rightwing [View All]

[pretzel4gore]

as recounted in michael lind's 'up from conservativism'...the 3 hoaxes, or big lies, are
1) taxes are too high
2)public schools fail to educate, are not cost effective
3)the rates of illegitimacy among the poor, meaning black, are higher then social norms

Lind uses government and agency numbers to prove that
1)taxes in fact are actually lower then in comparable industrial countries - low taxes are indeed one attraction the US has for well educated rightwingers from 3rd world countries!
2) US public schools produce graduates at rates as good as anywhere; this even after reagan tried to wreck the public school system
3) poor women have illegitimate children at the same rates as upper or middle class women; racism is the main factor in public belief that high rates of illegitimacy exist among the poor...

the main factor to remember is that the men running the country, the business community, the media etc know that these are lies based upon a political agenda, yet go along with them....like dope pushers, they sell straw as thai weed or jamaican, or horsepills as lsd....they push bad dope year in/year out, relentlessly lying until the lie becomes faith...unforunately, they were shitting in their own nests: today, the people don't believe the government, the pigmedia or anyone else therefore WE CHOOSE WHAT WE BELIEVE....and thus the US is a faith based society, without any goddam faith
