Slash taxes on the rich. Cover the resulting revenue shortfalls by borrowing from the rich instead.

Now take the money government borrowed from the rich and spend as much as possible of it benefitting the rich – defense contracts, privatized services, fat finance fees, corporate welfare and more tax cuts.

Do not spend it on what benefits everyone – infrastructure, education, environment, healthcare. Social safety nets are only acceptable as corporate welfare, enabling immorally low wages.

Then turn to the shrinking middle class and growing poor and scold: Look at this government debt! Look what you did with your greedy wasteful demands for food, shelter, fair wages, clean air and water, education, healthcare and retirement security. You have to pay! No medicare and social security for you!

The Chicago boys plundered the middle class and public wealth the earlier Keynsians built up.
