The Contest Between Taxeaters and Taxpayers

Steven Malanga may have written the book of the year.Here a quote from an interview about the book:

The New New Left, which I also sometimes call the public sector economy, consists of those taxeaters who live off government, either through transfer payments, public sector employment, or employment in sectors like private social services or health care which are increasingly funded by government. These groups began acquiring political power 40 years ago, largely with the help of the vast expansion of government that began during the War on Poverty.
