ANOTHER DAY CLOSER TO CIVIL WAR!

From hurricanes to tax cuts: The ruling class
gets down to business

13 September 2017
Even as the horrific destruction caused by Hurricanes Harvey and
Irma is still being tallied, the US political establishment is moving rapidly
to its main order of business: A massive handout for the corporate and
financial elite.
On Tuesday, the official death toll from Hurricane Irma rose to
12 in Florida, in addition to the 37 killed in the Caribbean by Irma and at
least 71 killed in Texas by Hurricane Harvey. As of Tuesday, two-thirds of
Florida, or some seven million homes, were without power, and many will not see
power restored for weeks—one product of the neglect of social infrastructure
spanning decades.
In the Florida Keys, which was hit with the full force of a
Category 4 Hurricane, 25 percent of homes are completely destroyed and another
65 percent severely damaged. Florida cities from Miami to Jacksonville have
experienced record flooding. The majority of workers in both Florida and Texas
do not have flood insurance and will have to try to rebuild on meager
government assistance, mainly in the form of loans.
AccuWeather predicts that the combined cost of the two storms
could rise to $290 billion, or 1.5 percent of the total value of goods produced
and services provided in the United States in an entire year. The hurricanes
will have a significant impact on the US economy, wiping out all anticipated
economic growth between August and the end of the year.
Amidst this destruction, however, the US stock markets are on
the rise—increasing significantly on both Monday and Tuesday. The reason is
evident: the ruling elite is licking its collective chops at the prospect of a
major cut in corporate and individual taxes for the wealthy.
Over the weekend, even as Irma was making landfall in Florida,
Trump seized the moment to press for “dramatic tax cuts and tax reform.” With
“what’s happened with the hurricane,” he said, “I’m gonna ask for a speed-up.”
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the former Goldman Sachs banker and hedge
fund manager (net worth $300 million), said on Tuesday that the White House is
“super focused” on tax cuts, and that the administration is considering
backdating these cuts to January 1 to provide a “big boon for the economy”—that
is, for Wall Street.
The response in the political establishment has been generally
enthusiastic. Last night, Trump hosted a dinner with Democratic and Republican
Senators to discuss “tax reform.” The Democrats in attendance included Senators
Joe Donnelly (Indiana), Joe Manchin (West Virginia), and Heidi Heitkamp (North
Dakota). The latter accompanied Trump on Air Force One last week, as he flew to
North Dakota to deliver a speech calling for tax cuts for corporations and the
wealthy.
The media, which has
presented the criminally incompetent response to the hurricanes as a model of
good governance, is following along. The New York Times, the media
voice of the Democratic Party establishment, devoted its entire editorial
section on Tuesday to one editorial missive, “Want to Make a Deal, Mr. Trump?”
The Times cited
the agreement between Democrats and the Trump administration last week on a
derisory federal relief bill for Hurricane Harvey tied to a three-month
extension on the federal debt ceiling and government funding. While a broader
agreement may not be forthcoming, the editors wrote, “It’s tempting… to imagine
what Mr. Trump might achieve if he could see beyond momentary, tactical wins.”
The most significant
of the Times’ proposals is on “tax reform.” The editorial
calls for a “modest trim to corporate taxes,” a gloss over the
demand—repeatedly made in White House budget proposals under Obama—to slash
corporate taxes by nearly one third, from the present rate of 35 to 25 percent.
Like the Trump
administration, the Times couches this proposal in the
standard rhetoric of aiding the “middle class.” However, the principle aim is
the same: a major transfer of wealth to the ruling elite.
The willingness of the Democrats to forge a deal with Trump is
not new. Their first response to Trump’s election was to “work with” the
administration (a pledge repeated by everyone from Hillary Clinton to Bernie
Sanders and Elizabeth Warren). It was Obama who proclaimed the election an
“intramural scrimmage” in which all participants were on “the same team.”
In the nearly eight
months since Trump’s inauguration, Democrats’ criticisms have focused not on
the reactionary policies of Trump and his cabinet of billionaires, but on
foreign policy. Following Trump’s praise of neo-Nazis involved in the
Charlottesville rampage, Democrats hailed the restructuring of the
administration to place it more firmly under the control of the generals that
dominate it—above all, the new chief of staff, retired general John Kelly.
Indeed, notably absent in the Times’ proposition to Trump is any
reference to foreign policy, even as the world teeters ever-closer to a
catastrophic nuclear war.
Divisions within the ruling class remain. However, if there is
one thing that the political establishment can agree on, it is that the cost of
the hurricanes—and of the broader economic and social crisis in the United
States of which it is a part—will not be paid for by those responsible: the
corporate and financial elite. The decades-long redistribution of wealth must
continue, and the massive stock bubble must be inflated with new cash.
Beyond the immediate financial considerations motivating moves
by the Democrats to prop up the Trump administration is a more strategic
consideration. Their concern has always been that popular hostility to Trump
could spark social upheavals, in which the working class would advance its own program.
Hence the promotion of a series of diversionary issues, from the anti-Russia
campaign to the insistence that the United States is riven by racial animosity.
Even before the floodwaters have receded, the ruling class is
demanding that workers pay for the series of disasters created by capitalism.
The working class, for its part, must respond with equal intransigence and
determination. It must call for a massive redistribution of wealth to make
whole all working people ruined by the floods. The major corporations and banks
must be turned into public utilities, and the
economy reorganized on the basis of rational
and scientific planning, to provide for safe
housing, the development of infrastructure, and
advanced flood control to make sure that such
disasters never happen again.

The response of the
political establishment to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma confirm the analysis made
by the WSWS in June, that “the fight of the working class against Trump and all
he represents will raise ever more urgently the necessity of political mass
movement, independent of and opposed to both the Republicans and the Democrats,
against the capitalist system and its state.” The building of a leadership to
guide this movement, the Socialist Equality Party, is the basic political task.

"Like
Katrina, Hurricane Harvey has lifted the lid on the ugly reality of
American society, exposing colossal levels of social
inequality, pervasive poverty and ruling class criminality."
"The reason why these warnings have been
ignored is not hard to fathom. They have been resolutely opposed by
corporate interests, including the real estate industry, Wall Street and
Big Oil. Their ability, operating through bribed politicians of both
parties, to veto and block elementary measures to protect the American
people, exemplifies the complete subordination of all social needs
under capitalism to the selfish drive of a corporate-financial oligarchy
to accumulate ever greater levels of personal wealth and profit."
