To prove racism as Krugman does in this amusing piece?

“Government is not the solution to our problem,” declared Ronald Reagan. “Government is the problem.” So why worry about governing well?

Where did this hostility to government come from? In 1981 Lee Atwater, the famed Republican political consultant, explained the evolution of the G.O.P.’s “Southern strategy,” which originally focused on opposition to the Voting Rights Act but eventually took a more coded form: “You’re getting so abstract now you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is blacks get hurt worse than whites.” In other words, government is the problem because it takes your money and gives it to Those People.

Then racism is the least of your worries! Though personally I should think they make an ointment for that level of crazy, right?

Update: Seriously Poltergeist III rip (at the bottom of the page) if this is the worst you can find then you need a new hobby (horse?)
