[quote=flyer]I wonder if it’s really a question of “what we want,” versus, a confluence of events (some, beyond our control), that have irreversibly positioned us (as a country) in a situation where the financial “winners” in life will slowly, but surely diminish in number?
My wife is an exec in the film business, and we were having this very conversation with regard to a film she has worked on recently. “Elysium” presents a very thought-provoking scenario of what may or may not be in our future.

It is not at all irreversible, though that is the meme they are trying to push. The few at the top who are amassing more and more power and wealth most certainly do not want to change it, but we CAN change it. Whether or not we have the collective intelligence and fortitude to do so is another question.
