Income redistribution leads to stagnant society

Lots of Democrats feel that if they are going to build political power they have to defend small businessmen against today's robber-barons, that is mom and pop against Walmart. This article in a recent Economist seems to imply that we are in the midst of another gilded age where upward mobility is being stifled from above and would seem to provide all the fodder necessary for such a strategy.

Boots of the barons


On an unrelated note I had the thought that the Democrats ought to run Tom Brokaw in 2008. He's camera-ready but is he ready to enter such a fray?
