Great comments.
And I will had to your excellent analysis that nowhere in Chomsky’s “scholarship” did I see any mention of the fact that excessive taxation and abusive regulation is harmful to the “workers” - I call them Americans (not folks or workers or working Americans ).
Now we’re really beginning to see how Democrats in this administration have weaponized government to go after conservatives and their businesses, and now governors who refuse to kneel at the altar of “global warming.”
I think Chomsky would say that these workers aren’t being taxed enough, but that is the fault of the industrialists who are hoarding too much of the money in fat salaries and bonuses, something he spent much time on in his article.
Not surprisingly, he hasn’t brought up the fact that these people work for publicly traded companies, and the shareholders have the power to put an end to these high wages. Mostly because shareholders aren’t all that excited about kneecapping the leaders of companies who produce results and profits.
