When Worker Productivity Goes Up & Worker Pay Goes Down - That Is Wealth Redistribution

[Tom Rinaldo]

8. I just hope the Obama team isn't oo cautious in response

Until recently the Liberal politician response to a Republican attack like accusing the poor of being free loaders or calling a politician a Socialist because s/he favors progressive taxation has been to duck and cover, or at least try to change the subject.

As important as it is, much more is at stake here than just the Presidential election. Obama's ability to govern effectively if elected is on the line also. NOW is when the public is paying the most attention to political issues, during a presidential campaign. Either Democrats effectively refute the ongoing Republican game plan to privatize America and shrivel up government in the guise of budget balancing now, or we will be forced into a position of negotiating away vulnerable people's lives during conference committees later

Take on wealth redistribution head on. All the statistics favor our position. Start with income growth figures during the Great Recession. The top 1% has continued to make out like bandits. They are draining money away from the middle class at an astonishing rate.
