A Florida Republican names it: The Plunderbund

From Deb Cupples and Damozel’s BNP (and I forgot where I got the link for that), this fascinating OpEd by Florida Republican legislator Nancy Argenziano:

Policy has been selling for a high price in Tallahassee. Just follow the money, then follow the legislation all the way to becoming the law. Make no mistake, we are being sold out and heading toward a society ruled by a corporate oligarchy.
…
Florida is tied for last in the ratio of state employees to residents …. I would characterize this as reflecting a state workforce which is, nationally, first in efficiency.

Yet what does the Scott/Senate President Mike Haridopolis/Florida House Speaker Dean Cannon plunderbund do? Penalize that efficiency, stab state workers in the back, further savage a workforce that hasn’t had a raise in five years, to effectively decrease their income by reneging on the bargain and requiring pension contributions, pensions which average in the lowest national tier.
…
They have public education in their sights. This I understand: Unless you eliminate the cohering cultural core and dumb down the population, you won’t have a population capable of being persuaded by the likes of Fox News’ Glenn Beck and his crony fellow travelers.

The Plunderbund.

I’m adding that as a subcategory of corruption to describe the systematic looting of a nation by right-wing corporatists.
