America is loaded. We are not a struggling nation ready to go under.
We are not facing an enormous debt crisis despite what the politicians
and pundits proclaim. We are not the next Greece.
Rather, we have an enormous concentration-of-wealth problem -- one
that must be solved for the good of our commonwealth. We are a very rich
nation but it doesn’t seem that way because our wealth is so
concentrated in the hands of a few. This is America’s disaster.
But wait. Doesn’t the wealth belong to the super-rich? Didn’t they
earn it fair and square? Isn’t that the way it’s always been?
Not by a long shot. The amount of wealth that flows to the super-rich
is determined by our public policies. It’s all about how we choose to
share our nation’s productivity.
