As an end result I would probably agree but as a cause the third one(top 1% vs bottom 95%) is probably the most important.

The reason we have so much debt is because the Govt is buying votes. The amount of people who vote but do not contribute is the real problem. If you are not paying taxes and are sucking off the Govt tit who are you going to vote for? Somebody who promises to give you more free stuff that is who. The number of people who are in that position has grown out of control and that is the major problem with this country today.


If you are not helping pay the bills (paying taxes) you should not have any say in how the money is spent (voting).

What about women who stay at home and look after kids, enabling their partner to work?

They won't be incurring tax liability, but they are contributing to the economy indirectly by raising the next generation of taxpayers.

Should they have the vote taken away?

EDIT: Since you're obviously asking a rhetorical question and because we're all oversimplifying a hugely complex issue.....

Yes take away their vote ... next question.

While we're at it, remove their driving privileges too.
 
These graphs don't really depict Americas downward anything. A lot of them are misleading, and the top one has completely reversed the trend in the last two years missing from that graph...

Its like that money supply chart going around... that shows M1 (cash and demand deposits) getting really really big but ignores that time deposits and money funds are substantially down...

If you're going to comment on this graph, please look at the axis.

I'm all for the anti-institutional cause, but lets have some intellectual honesty around mmk?
