Try to get past your hatred of your fellow Americans ....realize the truth about our economic inequity and join the process of common purpose and shared sacrifice necessary to uplift the least amongst us.....acknowledging FACTS is a critical first step.
Here's the thing though, you think that all this is perpetuated by big business, when its been perpetuated by big government. There are over 80,000 pages of Federal government regulations in this country, and they have increased from 45,000 in 1985.
Think about it this way, does golf has rules that seem unfair, yes, what do you do, most of people might think its unfair and just play by the rules. Or some will cheat because they think its unfair, and if they cheat then they get an advantage. Now look at regulations, many of them demonize the wrong people, and harm good business practices. But people need to get ahead in life, so what do they do, they see these obstructions as unfair and cheat. This gives them an advantage. Meaning that regulations, meant to even the playing field actually perpetuates survival of the fittest in business and increases inequality. Right now there is so much red tape to get a professional liscence, or start a business its hampering those who have really ingenuity. Then you strap on taxes, it goes to show you how awesome America is, and how powerful an economy we have that we can navigate all the BS the government has put out infront of us.
For how much liberals hate trickle down economics, they sure love trickle down government.
For example,
look at Cristie in NJ, he had to lay off teachers because the government didn't renew the education funding. So basically they were out money they were using to hire teachers. This means that the education system in NJ was supported beyond there means, and inflated. When the whims of the government changed, he had to lay off teachers. Now lets say majority of the money for school funding was raised by local funds. That means, its more stable, because locally things wont change as much as they do nationally.
So basically a better form of government is to invert the tax code, make local taxes 30%, state in the middle, federal government near 5-7%. This means, that the locals can support the projects for there own population size based on there ability.
Really Federal government should only supply interstate roadways, defense, space travel, and be a system that examines programs by other local governments, then bring up ideas to spread through out the country. Imagine if each local government offered there own form of health care system. Now you have thousands of test subjects. The federal government can examine these and spread around good ideas. In the end, we probably would have one overall similar plan through out the nation, run locally, that works. Instead of this bloated monstrousity called obamacare.
Basically we need a weak central government, and run more like a confederacy.
