That too is part of the problem, to be sure. But the relationship between government and business is also a huge problem.
i agree with that.

Will if there were dead middleclass bodies piled 20 high all around you....you would somehow find a way to spin how wonderful the rich is and how those dead middleclass screwed them
:lol: yeah. the CBO saying that our current fiscal path is unsustainable is just part of a plot to extend to rich people the right to start machine gunning the middle class :lamo
Return to free market capitalism.
Well, we haven't helped unions on the whole, and look where we are. Perhaps you could step up and provide some evidence?
economic reality is stomping the living crap out of manufacturing unions Public sector unions should be banned. and we never should have protected private sector unions--if the workers could get enough to agree with them-then they could dictate terms-if not the employer could fire the unionistas. that is the way it should have been
So, back to social Darwinism my friend? Neutralism? Or????
great idea. too many politicians would have a cow.
They would. But continue this path to Corporate Capitalism and you will see class strife only deepen.
sure beats pure democracy though
Neither is a good state and neither is free.
Id much rather have more corporatism and less government than we have now.
I'd rather have free market and less government than we have now. I ain't gonna settle for second fiddle.

Why I have a hard time with these stats is because I'm not sure what's taken into account. For instance, since we've been experiencing heavy immigration, legal and illegal, through our southern border, there should be more people in the lower income ranges, I think. (I don't know this...it's my common sense talking...and could be wrong.) Also, people don't necessarily stay in a class. Lower income moves up to middle income moves up to higher income, ad infinitum. I would think.
Also, I would point out that the top 10% of earners in this country pay 70% of the taxes. How much more do you want them to pay, by the way?
Top 10 Percent of Earners Paid 71 Percent of Federal Income Taxes
Edit: And the reason the middle class lost a median 28% of their net worth is, quite obviously, because of the housing crisis.

With the help of government.
19th century racists who blamed the Irish/Italians/Jews for the US' declined would be proud of America's modern right wing continuing the proud old tradition of blaming the immigrants. It is never failed laissez faire policies. Nope. It's always the fault of the new generation of immigrants.
no government-the unions would have died a quick death
Hardly. But with them hurting as you suggest, where are all those jobs you say would come?
Mr. Hat, surely you didn't read my response as blaming immigrants -- for anything. It's those loppy-left glasses you're wearing. Straighten 'em out, please; or your brain'll freeze like that.
Sure you didn't. You didn't even suggest it. Carry on bull****ting yourself.
