On September 18, 2012, Seema Mehta writes in the Los Angeles Times:
Mitt Romney‘s presidential bid, already pushing back against suggestions that he was losing ground toPresident Obama, confronted more difficulty Monday when a secretly taped video showed him describing nearly half the nation’s population as “dependent on government” and unwilling to take responsibility for their lives.
What never is discussed is how does the “maker class” actually earn their incomes. We need to force a discussion on the issue of CONCENTRATED OWNERSHIP and what to do about it at the national media level. We are absent a national discussion of where consumers earn the money to buy products and services and the nature of capital ownership, and instead argue about policies to redistribute income or not to redistribute income. If Americans do not demand that the contenders for the office of the presidency of the United States, the Senate, and the Congress address these issues, we will have wasted the opportunity to steer the American economy in a direction that will broaden affluence. We have adequate resources, adequate knowhow, and adequate manpower to produce general affluence, but we need as a society to properly and efficiently manage these resources while protecting and enhancing the environment so that our productive capital capability is sustainable and renewable. Such issues are the proper concern of government because of the human damage inflicted on our social fabric as well as to economic growth in which every citizen is fairly included in the American dream.Please see my article “Democratic Capitalism And Binary Economics: Solutions For A Troubled Nation and Economy” at http://foreconomicjustice.com/11/economic-justice/ or follow me on Facebook athttp://www.facebook.com/pages/For-Economic-Justice/347893098576250 andhttp://www.facebook.com/editorgary
