Its amazing-economists' predictions rate right next to weather forecasters in terms of accuracy.
why do you think wealth is concentrated at the top? I bet you think it is due to government not taking enough away-in other words you don't blame the indolent middle class and the poor but only the government and the rich.
Its like saying that Nadal, ND and Federer cheat the rest of the tennis players out of grand trophies rather than criticizing the other players for not training as hard as the champions or not having as strong a mental game
One of the reasons our forefathers wisely instituted the progressive tax rate was to prevent accumulation of wealth at the top, which tends to cause growth stagnation and poverty.
There is no indolent middle class, that is only a figment of a very biased mind. There is only the middle class that has been suffering from the effects of supply side economics and financial deregulation.
