>> There are many countries with a larger percentage of their economy in government and they aren't facing a shrinking middle class and growing disparity. I guess you can argue there is a correlation between growing disparity and a shrinking middle class. At the same time I can argue there is a correlation between growth in nonproductive government and a shrinking middle class. Now which is the stronger case? Why? a) People becoming extremely wealthy due to extreme success kills the middle class; or b) More money moving into to nonproductive activity kills the middle class?
