Kyrosi, You may have pinpointed a key issue going forward. I buy into your analysis. Supply side doesnt work for all as it errs as you describe. But thats not a reason to return to keynes so fast. There must be ways to resolve these inequities without killing the golden goose of tax cuts and less regulation. Party that figures it out first wins. Dems are no better for all they can come with is the old time great society religion. Mike

The Gini index, which measures family income distribution inequality, is at record levels in the US, and the highest by far among developed countries. The higher the GNP, the more the difference. The Euros try to "fix" this, and end up restricting the growth for everyone. You can't get around the fact that the lowest level is living better than they ever have in the history of the world. Stressing the differences is an attempt to capitalize on the difference. Fortunately, the average American says, "Hey, I can make it up the ladder too!" The left gnashes their teeth over this reaction. They just can't stir up enough envy.
