“America as a country has evolved in recent decades into a confederacy of widescale industrial scams. The biggest slices of our economic pie – sectors like health care, military production, banking, even commercial and residential real estate – have become crude income-redistribution schemes, often untethered from the market by subsidies or bailouts, with the richest companies benefiting from gamed or denuded regulatory systems that make profits almost as assured as taxes.”

“almost?”
Matt Taibbi would prefer a more communistic looking sort of America.
Taibbi may be a progressive (aka, liberal), but he does call things the way he sees things and doesn’t bullshit about the truth. Just because he may lean left, doesn’t mean we should discount his investigative journalism. We need truth-tellers of all stripes to flush the swamp.
