Just in case Congressman Gary Miller has not seen this viral video on income inequality in America, I wanted to bring it to his attention. The United States of America is on its way to becoming a Plutocray in which the elite and wealthy in country increasingly have massive influence over our election process. This erodes accountability in our system by placing the Plutocrats interest above those of an elected officials constituents and by shielding the Plutocrats from disclosure.
In addition, income inequalty creating two tiers of justice in America. One for the elite and the other for the rest of us. Conservatives are sowing the seeds of civil unrest and eroding the sense of fairness in this country when no financial officials has been prosecuted for fraudlent actions. If an ordinary American were to defraud the American public, they would be subject to trial and imprisonment. However, if an financial institution or any of its employees committed fraudlent actions they would just pay a fine with company money.
The solution to concentrated economic power is not to hand them more of it. This is what Conservatives do when they lower tax rates.
The solution is to have an activist government adjust the equity level of wealth in this nation. If not, expect more social unrest and violence.
