Sad at the level of discourse.
One may say “false choice” then again one is also ignoring the fact that has not happened under your paradigm, quite the opposite has occured.
The effect of that is place a pseudo marxist into political power and that trend will more then likely continue, in effect the reality of the policies one advocates will see that trend continue.
And you shouldn't be bothered at all if anyone notices that you think wage growth and growth in corporate value is an "either/or" proposition. That is an attitude more suited to the Occupy Wall Street Crowd.
Finally, "my paradigm" did not compel the government to force banks to make loans to people who couldn't afford them, though I'll grant you that "my paradigm" allows for investment banks to repackage those loans. Our economy is in a mess right now because people think they can get something from the government for nothing, and that description includes many of the protectionists on this thread.
