so how do you control concentration of wealth? tax it away?
the federal and state governments are so pervasive in every aspect of business that i wonder why people bother to start their own. i'm self employed and am responsible for 5 other employees wages. my tax return is now about 40 pages long and $1000/yr, and i don't do anything special to avoid taxes. i want my life as simple as it can be in some ways.
singapore is trying to get to the point where it takes 10 minutes over the internet to open a business. what if we did something similar, actually embraced capitalism and rewarded business owners for taking the risk of starting a business instead of punishing them. maybe the middle class would have a path to greater prosperity?
as far as the correlation issue, i've witnessed a lot of it. what i see is government invading every aspect of our lives and the issues you're passionate about getting worse. don't know if you're old enough to remember LBJ's war on poverty. huge amount of taxes spent and no result. just one example.
the only political/economic scenario i know about where the fewest control the majority of wealth is where socialism is practiced
