Not really. It seems simplistic to me. What I believe is that we need to strengthen the middle class. That means taxing the rich and corporations and reinstituting unions. This massive income inequality has been proven to eat societies out from the inside and destroy them. 6 Waltons have more money than the bottom 100 million. That is obcene and very destructive to our society. Another concepts the right wing does not understand is the limits of growth. With 7 billion people on earth everyone cannot be a millionair. We would destroy the planet if we tried to acheive that. Not enough resources and the pollution would finish us off. Countries with a large educated middle classe and only a few rich and hopefully no poor are the best societies for everyone. Right wingers never understand they live in a society and they have an obligation to help that society.
