The Economist magazine and their pro business politicians

Cecil Brewster
   The Economist magazine is a pro business Neo-liberal propaganda print machine and the stories they have are usually majorly biased with a free-market stance. So it should be no surprise this week when they featured a story on mayor one percent Rahm Emanuel.  I was shocked to see Rahm Emanuel as the first picture as I opened up this magazine the other day and they had such positive article and sterling job this man has done as mayor you wold of thought it was penned by Rahm Emanuel dickhead himself. Rahm Emanuel has been a great mayor for the ultra-wealthy and their business causes and demands. He has been a god awful mayor for the rest of the population of this city and it is just another typical right wing economic story praising these new elitism mayors and governor in America. The Economist praised Emmanuel for forcing pension reform and taking on the unions and they encourage him to continue the fight with the teachers union next.  What is lucid is that for many citizens in Chicago an impoverished life is the only future and corporatist mayors like Rahm Emanuel are a cause for their plight. A guy like Emanuel can totally hijack other politicians goals as he did running the Clinton administration and his cots David measure in education will end up disastrous as those without the economic means will be stuck in crummy schools while the wealthy can buy their way into the top ones. When one talks about the problem of money in politics we only need to look at the likes of a political maverick like Rahm Emanuel to see what it can lead to in regards to a just and fair society. The Economist says it is crucial for Rahm Emanuel to be reflected and be a role model for other people into the ranks of local government and this publications wished for more men like Emanuel inolitics is a s are dilemma for the entire public.
