Everything that the Bush administration does is based on their ruling ideology. This ideology supports anything which furthers the establishment of unfettered, unregulated, predatory capitalism. In their vision they see a society in which everything is privately owned, and access to all human endeavors and all human needs is controlled by a profit seeking middleman. This requires the defunding and eventual elimination of the entire public sector. In their world there is no money for Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, health insurance, fire departments, police departments, public power and water, or even for disaster relief......
"Many are concerned that federal disaster assistance may have evolved into..... an oversized entitlement program." — Budget Director Mitch Daniels announcing the Bush administration’s goal of privatizing FEMA. April 2001.—
Wages will be taxed but not "income" (stocks, bonds, capital gains, estate inheritances).
Any money not already looted from the treasury will be used to wage war and provide tax breaks and subsidies for the wealthy and the large corporations.
Basically, their vision, their "ownership society", foresees a return to feudalism. Those who already own most of America will be the nobility, the royalty. The rest of us will be the peons.

We need a Hugo Chavez here in America.
