Inequality and political polarization
While many accuse the Tea Party of polarizing politics, Sam Pizzigati argues that the source is really economic inequality and the concentration of vast amounts of wealth. He talks about a few economic myths, like how the US is "broke" or that the rich are "job creators". Bill suggests we need more than Keynsian stimulus, but projects aimed at restoring the environment and building the instutitons and infrastructure for a free and sustainable society.
Sam Pizzigati is a Fellow Institute for Policy Studies who also puts together the weekly email-newsletter at toomuch.com
