The Inequality Problem


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.
