Inequality Is Not An Accident

This is very true. It's no accident that the rich have been able to hog most of America's wealth. It is the result of years of Republican politics -- where they have weakened unions, deregulated Wall Street and corporations, given subsidies and tax breaks that were not needed, and generally tilted the economic playing field to benefit the rich (and punish the working and middle classes). The have re-distributed income from most Americans into the bank accounts of the rich. It is time to re-distribute that wealth in the opposite direction. That's not class warfare -- it's self-defense (and patriotism, because it will lead to a healthier economy for everyone).
