I skimmed this twice looking for Mr. Kurth's solution to his perceived increase in income inequality, and didn't see it . . . anybody?

"Some of these bought policies may be for the purpose of making the rich even richer, most obviously the current regressive tax policies of the Bush administration."

The above quote kind of tells where this author is coming from. Also, I noticed somewhere in the middle that the author, James Kurth, likes Kevin Phillips and John Maynard Keynes, so I presume the author thinks the answer is government redistribution. (I don't think you'll find Kurth quoting Murray Rothbard.)

Kurth also laments the deterioration of unions and the inability to unionize office workers in today's information age - - these workers are too busy conspicuously consuming. In the end he concludes that the problem will take care of itself through crime and terrorism. (We asked for it!)

I'm still trying to figure out which "regressive tax policies of the Bush administration" this guy is talking about.
