I’m sure this article is getting linked by bloggers all over the country… and personally, I’m hoping that Brad DeLong comments on the article, but I felt I had to post it up too.

Paul Krugman’s piece, The Tax-Cut Con, in today’s NY Times Magazine is required reading to understand both the philosophies that are behind the tax-cut mania that has been around since the days of Reagan and what those policies have done and continue to do to our country.

We are slowly but surely (and not that slowly anymore, really) starving our country while we allow an elite few to garner a higher and higher percentage of the nation’s wealth. Krugman’s piece debunks a lot of myths about who is helped by tax cuts, and I’m hoping that everyone who reads it gets just a little more angry about the direction our country has been taken since 1980.
