let me rewrite my first draft...
Cmon... look past the propaganda.
If inequality were really the concern, the real solution would be to eliminate taxes on the bottom 90 %.... and levy a 70% tax on the top .05% of income earners and say a 20% yearly tax on assets over 10 million.
Bill Gross's firm made billions buying near valueless bonds for the Fed and front running the purchases. (I linked to the articles here a few years ago.)
Warren Buffett has been gifted billions of dollars in deals from the Fed. (including a deal for Goldman Sachs as the Fed put plans in place to save it.)
Goldman Sachs is a virtual recreation of a zombie bank by the Fed.
The Fed owns the democrats and some of the Republicans
The Fed and cronies prefer to be those who have the money and the capital to buy the politicians.
Taxing anyone but the top .05% makes no sense, if you wish to prevent inequality.
As you tax away the savings of the middle and most of the upper class, you have fewer and fewer competitors.
You can then buy politicians and exempt your enterprise from taxes... a la GE.
Govt has broken free of a balanced budget, therefore it has no need for income taxes.
It spends what it wishes, and the Fed prints what it wishes too.
Taxes are simply away of creating extreme income disparity.
97% to 99% of the people have very similar savings. Few families have any extra money after taxes, food and Obamacare and college.
1% accumulate capital. .05% owns just about everything. The top .05% are eventually tied to banking and the Fed via public offering.
(I will note it is odd the Kochs are not part of that model.)
Money creation combined with progressive taxes... accomplishes the same thing as Fuedalism. Its crony/capital feudalism.
