No way can anyone argue against Krugman in his comments about the disparity between the working man and the wealthy ......and that the wealthy just aren't paying their fair share. But what Krugman needs to think about and write about is ....why. Why in a democracy do the people consistently vote in politicians who then pass the laws allowing this? The simple answer is money in politics and that this influence has morphed into something almost evil. But that also suggest that the American voter is dumb and is voting against their own interest. I don't buy that argument for a second. It would mean democracy is a failed political system, I'm not ready to go along with that idea. ........Besides the democrats have been hanging in there getting their fair share of money. It is a canard! So the question remians........why? Meanwhile Nate Silver predicts republians take over the Senate. ........why?
