Divide and conquer…that’s their motto. As ancient as the Romans and as current as the Rovians. The Neoconservative plan is to pit the American Middle Class against itself. Those on Social Security and unemployment insurance will campaign to keep those vital income streams alive and the Neoconservatives will work against them trying to have them [...]
