I Came To The Conclusion That Most People In America Would Really Like To Be Able To Get A Job Where They Think They're Doing Something Noble And Nice And Good And It Isn't Just For The Money. But The Reason They Hate What They Call The Cultural Elite Is That They See It As A Class That's Grabbed All The Jobs Where You Can Get Paid To Do Something That Isn't Just For The Money - If It's Art, If It's Charity, If It's Intellectual, If It's Political, Whatever It Might Be.

Meanwhile, The U.s. Debt Remains, As It Has Been Since 1790, A War Debt; The United States Continues To Spend More On Its Military Than Do All Other Nations On Earth Put Together, And Military Expenditures Are Not Only The Basis Of The Government's Industrial Policy; They Also Take Up Such A Huge Proportion Of The Budget That By Many Estimations, Were It Not For Them, The United States Would Not Run A Deficit At All.

I Would Like, Then, To End By Putting In A Good Word For The Non-industrious Poor. At Least They Aren’t Hurting Anyone. Insofar As The Time They Are Taking Time Off From Work Is Being Spent With Friends And Family, Enjoying And Caring For Those They Love, They’re Probably Improving The World More Than We Acknowledge.

But In The Years Since The Neoliberal Project Really Has Been Stripped Down To What Was Always Its Essence: Not An Economic Project At All, But A Political Project, Designed To Devastate The Imagination, And Willing - With It's Cumbersome Securitization And Insane Military Projects - To Destroy The Capitalist Order Itself If That's What It Took To Make It Seem Inevitable.
