post # 3 Confronting inequality

I think people should care about the high rise of inequality because then there wouldn’t be a middle class; this country wouldn’t be democratic. There wouldn’t be any point of competing among businesses if a business would defeat its competitors, buy there business, and start monopolizing. It’s a very sick cycle that we are reliving. Bringing back the gilded age when Carnegie and JPMorgan ran this country. They took competition to the next level and became ruthless. This is why people should be concern and read in between the lines politics talk about “working middle class” and what this country stand for, because in reality; majority of the time they don’t practice what they preach.

  1. Some interesting reflections, Stephanie - can you tell us more about the middle class and democracy? Why do you think these things are linked - that is, why do we need to have a middle class in order to have democracy?
