Has Kansas Found the Cure for the Reaganomics Disease?
Reaganomics is like a bad disease; It just keeps on spreading. Thanks to 34 years of failed Reaganomics, the gap between the wealthy elite in America and everyone else is at an all-time high.
Since 2009 alone, a staggering 95% of all income gains have gone to the top 1%, while everyone else has been left out in the cold. And while conservatives will never admit it, the staggering levels of income inequality that Reaganomics has created are bad for the economy.
As Barry Cynamon and Steven Fazzari point out in a recent paper, inequality hinders overall economic growth, and as a result, is a major reason why America's recovery from the Great Recession has been so slow. But the record levels of income inequality created by Reaganomics aren't just hurting on the national level.
They're hurting on the state level too. A new report released by Standard & Poor's reveals that while the gap between the wealthiest Americans and everyone else has been increasing, state tax revenues have been decreasing. So why is that?
