violation of democracy

Right-wing policies accelerate polarization - widening the social gaps between cultural groups and between haves and have nots.

Their premise that "trickle-down economics" works is faulty - people generally only like dealing with perceived social equals, the rich club becomes more and more exclusive and money (and automatically power) becomes more and more concentrated. What a shameful violation of the one of the basic principles of democracy and a fair market - all should have equal access to the means and opportunities to succeed.
At least I can console myself with the web 2.0. Long live net neutrality!
