Moyers: "The Secret Government is an interlocking network of official functionaries, spies, mercenaries, ex-generals, profiteers and superpatriots, who, for a variety of motives, operate outside the legitimate institutions of government.

: The vast inequality they are creating is a death sentence for
: government by consent of the people. This is the fight of
: our lives and how it ends is up to us.

: Dear Readers: In the fall of 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11,
: as families grieved and the nation mourned, Washington
: swarmed with locusts of the human kind: wartime
: opportunists, lobbyists, lawyers, ex-members of Congress,
: bagmen for big donors: all of them determined to grab what
: they could for their corporate clients and rich donors
: while no one was looking.

: Across the land, the faces of Americans of every stripe were
: stained with tears. Here in New York, we still were
: attending memorial services for our firemen and police. But
: in the nation’s capital, within sight of a smoldering
: Pentagon that had been struck by one of the hijacked
: planes, the predator class was hard at work pursuing
: private plunder at public expense, gold-diggers in the
: ashes of tragedy exploiting our fear, sorrow, and loss.

: What did they want? The usual: tax cuts for the wealthy and
: big breaks for corporations. They even made an effort to
: repeal the alternative minimum tax that for fifteen years
: had prevented companies from taking so many credits and
: deductions that they owed little if any taxes. And it
: wasn’t only repeal the mercenaries sought; they wanted
: those corporations to get back all the minimum tax they had
: ever been assessed.

: “Whenever you hear a man speak of his love for his country, it
: is a sign that he expects to be paid for it.”
: — H.L. Mencken
