I know I sometimes sound like a broken record on this blog, but I believe it is important for an economy in a democracy to be fair -- and to be fair, that economy has to more fairly distribute any rise in productivity or income. If we keep letting the rich grab it all, while the middle and working classes keep losing ground, then we will lose our democracy. It will become a plutocracy (rule by the wealthy class). We are already pretty far down that road, and we need to change soon. We should start in 2014 by voting the Republicans out of power.
