Real Government
The assumptions Sara Robinson makes about the status quo of wealth distribution as a "working system" that was "moving forward" belies her point of view that the Obama regime is our best chance at "real government". Rather, it is the democratization of capital that undergirds democracy, and that requires the redistribution of wealth from private equity to the public sector, not the other way around. Obama's commitment to the Reagan model of privatizing public wealth has already betrayed progressivism as she defines it. Hope has been vanished in large part by the Democratic Party she so strongly supports.
