Chomsky: Budget attacks America’s majority – By Adam Porter

If you were poor, a Native American, a small farmer or an ecologist, you probably did not vote for George W Bush.

It is therefore not so surprising to find that all these sectors of society have come under attack, from the Republican administration’s new fiscal budget.
…
“There is a very simple principle that goes a long way towards explaining decisions of the Bush administration. If some policy is beneficial to wealth, privilege and power, it should be promoted.

“If some policy is beneficial to the large majority of the population but of no particular concern (or even marginally costly) to wealth, privilege and power, it should be undermined.”
