John Kenneth Galbraith? Didn't he give up the ghost and die shortly after seeing Bush reelected?
some of his quotes:
•"The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled."
•"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
•“Trickle-down theory - the less than elegant metaphor that if one feeds the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.”
•"It is a well known and very important fact that America's founding fathers did not like taxation without representation. It is a lesser known and equally important fact that they did not much like taxation with representation."
•"Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable."
