I finally figured out why Noam Chomsky was named the top public intellectual.
The revelation also undermines the hypocrisy charge leveled at him. His
ability to use the market and accumulate wealth by attacking the market
and wealth preservation paved the way for Ben and Jerry, Bill Clinton (?about half of these tax cuts since 2001 have gone to people in my income group, the top 1 percent. I’ve gotten four tax cuts.), and John Perkins.
There?s a vast untapped market of rich kids and rich old folks who feel
guilty about being rich but don?t want to give up their stuff and so
have some of their guilt assuaged by reading about how terrible the
?System? is. Whole Foods subverted this postmodern construct by taking money from guilty lefties but run by a libertarian.
