  1. The problem the neoliberals in both parties are going to have is when the working class says, we want lower taxes, but we want equity. I mean wages are great, but if the John Deere workers had to take a pay cut to keep the company going in lean times, they should have been granted equity in the company for their sacrifice. There are people now who are pointing out equity grants should be part of all employment contracts and workers should participate in gains as they already suffer losses. The data bears out that workers having a legitimate ownership stake and control of a company improves the long term success of a company every examination of worker-owned cooperatives shows this. The problem the neoliberal authoritarian tax and spend left and the authoritarian borrow and spend right has is that workers actually understand now that Marx's idea about workers owning the means of production is very different than taxing success, now. Workers want their boats raised with success they don't want to be taxed and they don't want to be left holding the bag anymore without equity. The problem politicians in both political parties have is that workers regardless of which team's jersey they don are seeing that workers getting their own piece of a company and a say on the board of directors makes more economic sense than taxing success. Because every tax on success falls onto the backs of workers. Every tax on success is paid by people who do the actual work. People who don't work - be they wealthy passive investors who get tax breaks that workers pay for, or the non-working poor, whether due to disability or lack of necessary work or lack of needed skills because society doesn't provide adequate training and education, who get very limited welfare to act as the reserve army of the unemployed to hold as a threat to the livelihood of workers are benefiting from gains, but worker's piece of success is being taxed away. Workers are not getting their fair share and that seed change in thinking is coming quickly.
