Edit: I am not the author of this piece, I am merely sharing it. New to the diaries, not to DK. Longtime fan and when I read this I wondering what a wider sample would respond; specifically, economically.

How do you respond to this criticism of progressive economics?

To those of you talking Economics, Take a look:
You see an accumulation of wealth at the top because smart people made a lot of money legitimately then invested it wisely with other smart people that had the know how...bankers. Keynesian Economics is not the solution. Federalizing the government as described in the Constitution and Explained in the Federalist papers is the solution. This will be an economics discussion, not a federalist one.

These people also were rich. It is not more difficult to become as rich as the rich people of today, that is a myth.

The rich people who you speak of are not collecting a paycheck at the expenses of the American People. That is a myth.

Besides for Goldman-Sachs. They are evil. That isn't a myth.

But otherwise, the Bill Gates and Richard Bransons of the world, even the Koch brothers and Steve Burke are not the evil robber barons you portray them as. The issue is politically systemic not economic mishaps!
