Income inequality will likely
be a major issue in this coming election;
it’s the only place for Democrats to run given Obamacare and our public
inability to deal with real issues. We’re
told this class war crap will last until the 2016 election but I have my
doubts.
Every so often the
cockroaches of progressivism find their way out of the woodwork for a while to
ply their populist trade; thus their
appearance in the awful 111th Congress and the predictable
consequences. And also thus the
inevitable backlash from ordinary Americans and the predictable rise of the delusional
Tea Party roaches. Roaches run from
light so it behooves sensible Democrats, conservatives, Republicans, liberals
and centrists to get politicians back to governing. It would be nice if we had a press that would
go back to hating all politicians rather than taking sides. News people should do more fact checking and
less advocacy.
Anyway, here’s a particularly
eloquent column on the subject of the serious problem of growing inequality.

It’s time to drop the
ideology and look for leadership. Vote
in the Primaries folks.
