Reply #11: I think income inequality is the greatest threat to our country and our democracy

[1932]

I think it's the most important political issue today and I think most every other significant political issue falls under this umbrella. For example, if there were less income inequality, there would be less concentration of political power in a few hands of those doing the bidding of coprorations and the powerful, and we wouldn't have the Iraq War and we wouldn't have the health care system we have now, and we wouldn't have a lot of the other problems that people tend to focus on to the exclusion of the more important, broader issue of concentration of economic power.

Today, I'm looking for politicians who recognize that this is the major political issue.
