“There’s a cynicism which is actually productive for those very same people who got the income redistributed to them,” McIntyre says. “The less that working-class people vote, the easier it is to do what they want to do.”

Edward Hudgins, senior scholar at the libertarian-leaning Atlas Society, headquartered in Washington, agrees:

“As politics becomes the coin of the realm, more businesses and other interest groups — Wall Street banks, ‘clean’ energy businesses, you name it — benefit not by offering goods and services to paying customers but, rather, support to politicians. This ‘crony capitalism’ system is perceived by most citizens as inherently unfair.” . . .

The Atlas Society’s Hudgins sees “a very deep polarization and a politicization of more and more aspects of society and culture” in America today.

“The middle class thus finds that they are not advancing, and the prospects for their children look grim,” he says. “Neither Democrats nor Republicans have been able to effectively articulate an easily understandable explanation of the current situation, much less long-term solutions.”
