Dr Paul Craig Roberts
''As readers know, I don’t think that either candidate is a good choice
or that either offers a choice. Washington is controlled by powerful
interest groups, not by elections. What the two parties fight over is
not alternative political visions and different legislative agendas, but
which party gets to be the whore for Wall Street, the military-security
complex, Israel Lobby, agribusiness, and energy, mining, and timber
interests.
Being the whore is important, because whores are rewarded for the
services that they render. To win the White House or a presidential
appointment is a career-making event as it makes a person sought after
by rich and powerful interest groups. In Congress the majority party can
provide more services and is thus more valuable than the minority
party. One of our recent presidents who was not rich ended up with $36
million shortly after leaving office, as did former UK prime minister
Tony Blair, who served Washington far better than he served his own
country.''
