Once the Democratic legislators realized they could buy votes by redistributing wealth, the genie was out of the box, now both Democrats and Republicans do it. Those on the lower income scale want more and more of the wealth of others and the legislature continues to deliver in an effort to retain votes.
Using smartone's chart, the price of admission for living in this country should not be so lopsided. If you are in the bottom 20% of wage earners the average price of admission is only $1,449. However, if you are in the top 20% of wage earners the average price of admission is $21,653. Gee, if the NFL operated that way, the top 80% would watch the games on TV and the NFL would go broke with its stands filled with the lower 20%. But then, businesses do not have the power to confiscate wealth.
If Sly had his way we would be The United Socialist States of America…sigh!
