On August 9, 2013, R.J. Eskow writes on AlterNet.org that our country is increasingly being turned into a plaything for the ultra-rich.
What this article fails to address is the reason the rich are rich. It is because they own the non-human means of production, the wealth-creating, income-generating productive capital assets of companies, whose ownership is concentrated among the few wealthy ownership class.
The solution should be obvious. STOP allowing them to concentrate ownership of FUTURE productive capital economic growth and provide EQUAL opportunity for the non-propertyless 99 percent to acquire individual ownership shares in the growth of companies with the FUTURE SAVINGS (EARNINGS) of the capital investments. This is the financial mechanism used by the rich to increasingly become richer.
