How Come The Rich Are Getting So So Much Richer?

There's a new book out by professors from both Yale and U. Calif. Berkley titled "Winner - Take - All Politics: How Washington made the Rich richer - and Turned it's back on the middle class". The Tea Party has it all wrong. The very wealthy has basically purchased government without anyone realizing it, including government. And nobody is there to stand up to tell government to stop giving all the money to them. Deregulation, tax law, and corporate governence laws have handed the rich the keys to the candy store. Sure some of the problems of the working class has to do with globalization and technological advances, but mostly it's new laws over the past few decades, while labor unions have lost their strength and can no longer be the watchguard for the middleclass. So, Tea Party, you should be looking at the corporate boardroom and the local country club instead of the local politician. Not that you should forget the politician, but it's the money, not the Party. That's not to excuse the Democrats or the Republicans, but after all, they're only human or nearly so. Now if the Tea Party wants to really make a difference, then listen to what any Congressman or Senator or even better, what any corporate leader like the National Chamber of Commerce is telling us we need and figure it should be the opposite.
