"Today both our politics and our public policy is confronted with three immense issues: the first involves the debate over the need to deal with unemployment versus reducing the deficit. The second is the massively uneven distribution of wealth and income. The third involves taxes, partly as to how they should be use to deal with the first two issues, and partly how the tax system itself should be reformed. These issues are deeply intertwined but rarely discussed as such. Stories that cover one, more or less, ignore the other two. The result is that a far larger issue get lost altogether. All three issues come back to a basic question about how wealth and income gets distributed in our economy."
