Nice another rich upper class white man lecturing us about the evils of wanting a better life.
Krugman is absolutely bankrupt intellectually.
Welfare, minimum wage, labor unions, big government, focusing on “income inequality” - these are all ideas rooted in Karl Marx. And anyone who wants these ideas is a Marxist - doesn’t matter if they call themselves “socialists” or “progressives” or “communists” or “columnist at the NYT”.
And what did Karl Marx want? What was his entire thesis of the Communist Manifesto?
Marx wanted the DESTRUCTION of the middle class. He HATED the middle class. He wanted their blood FLOWING in the streets.
Since that wouldn’t be feasible in a lot of places, he proposed the ideas above. He told his followers: implement high taxes. Push for regulations and labor unions. Fight “income inequality” using the power of the government.
That will destroy the middle class.
So here we sit in 2014. We’ve implemented all this Marxist drivel and Krugman is stunned that the middle class is taking it on the chin?
Give me a break.
Yeah - there is a widening divide between the rich and the poor because there’s nothing in between them. The middle class is being hollowed out.
But the middle class keeps voting for this...

The middle class is the ones that most likely stand up against oppressive control... this is why the marxists have to destroy it before finally seizing power.
Krugman is another NY Slimes ‘Champagne Socialist’. And yes, intellectually dishonest. He is also a former Enron consultant.
I wonder if Krugman will ever study the statistical anomaly that is obvious whenever the religious backgrounds of members of “the 1%” are considered.
Since our DOJ will no longer consider “talent” or “effort” as sufficient justifications for income inequality, shouldn’t our richest “minority” prepare for a DOJ administered income-equalizing pogrom?
