Every now and then some politico inadvertently slips up and reveals his true feelings about class in America in a really telling way. Today's example is courtesy of Roy Brown, Republican candidate for Montana's gubernatorial seat:
Brown is proposing legislation to create a 12-member Montana Budget Accountability Commission, made up of business leaders and legislators, that looks at where and how state government spends its money and makes recommendations.
"If we're getting the bang for our buck, let's spend more there," Brown said. "If we're not, let's get rid of the program."
You'll notice who's conspicuously absent from Brown's commission: you!
Giving a certain class -- "business leaders" is a nice euphemism, isn't it? -- governing privileges is not cool, it's elitist and exclusionary, and (most of) this nation got over that way back in the Jackson administration.
Attention Brown & Daines, Ltd: it's not government of the business leaders, for the business leaders, and by the business leaders. We already have a "committee" that "looks at where and how state government spends its money." It's called a "legislature." And it's an "elected" body. Look it up! |
