You RWNJ's will never be satisfied with anything less than a supreme leader elected by wealth to serve the greedy. Of course you all assume you will be raised by hard work to be one of the wealthy chosen to live amongst the rest of the chosen by Mammon. That delusion must make you feel special. The only problem with your dream is the supreme’s will exclude you from the table of the chosen just as certainly as they have excluded the already impoverished poor and low paid working people. They do not want a rising tide to elevate all ships. They want a rising tide to elevate their ship and let the rest of you drown.

Having a thriving working and middle class that can be obtained by economic policies that slow the concentration of wealth is anathema to you because it makes you realize your way to wealth is a snare and a delusion used to keep the power in the hands of the wealthy where it can be used to protect their exclusivity. The irony is the policies you espouse exclude you from prosperity as effectively as it excludes poor and low paid workers.

The only way government can force outcomes to be equal, is by holding down everybody to the lowest achiever's level.
Amen!

I said slowed not eliminated the concentration of wealth. What I really want to see is a completely free market for the wealthy and a substantial base income for the rest of us. Instead we have investment guarentees for the wealthy and no support for the rest of us. Effectively we need merchant Princes and not merchant Kings.

"Concentration of wealth" is concentraded among those that work for it and avail themselves of the opportunity.

Wealth is mostly concentrated among the few that were born to the purple or cheated the banks, stockholders or workers or all three. The guy that started Wall-mart worked for his wealth but his children did not and there are more of them than there are of him.

Prosperity is earned, not an entitlement that someone gives you.
