Paul Krugman - Income Inequality and the Middle Class Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2007/10/30/Paul_Krugman_Future_of_the_Middle_Class Author, economist and New York Times Op-Ed columnist Paul Krugman discusses the history of the American "middle class," and argues that growing income inequality may threaten its existence. ----- Paul Krugman discusses "Losing Our Way in the New Century: The Future of the Middle Class?" Krugman brings a sharp political, social and economic analysis of what happened to the middle class of the 20th century and where America's social policy is headed in the future. Krugman is the most widely read economist of our time and was named Columnist of the Year by Editor and Publisher magazine. - The Commonwealth Club Paul Krugman joined The New York Times in 1999 as a columnist on the Op-Ed Page and continues as professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University. Mr. Krugman received his B.A. from Yale University in 1974 and his Ph.D. from MIT in 1977. He has taught at Yale, MIT and Stanford. At MIT he became the Ford International Professor of Economics. Mr. Krugman is the author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 papers in professional journals and edited volumes. His professional reputation rests largely on work in international trade and finance; he is one of the founders of the "new trade theory," a major rethinking of the theory of international trade. Mr. Krugman's current academic research is focused on economic and currency crises. At the same time, Mr. Krugman has written extensively for a broader public audience. Some of his recent articles on economic issues, originally published in Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review, Scientific American and other journals, are reprinted in Pop Internationalism and The Accidental Theorist.

Barack Obama gives Speech, proposes middle-class Tax Cuts Barack Obama gives speech advocating tax cuts for the middle class and senior citizens. -------------------------------------------- John McCain supports Bush's plan to privatize Social Security. Bush's plan to privatize Social Security...would have reduced guaranteed Social Security benefits, and endangered the long term stability of the Social Security Trust Fund by diverting trillions of dollars that would otherwise be used to pay guaranteed benefits...privatization would only worsen the already-floundering Bush economy by putting a huge new tax burden on Americans by requiring massive new borrowing and debt...Obama firmly opposes Social Security privatization and has proposed increasing social security taxes only on families earning $250,000 or more per year -- a move that would guarantee the solvency of Social Security for generations. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-creamer/how-obama-can-win-over-se_b_107497.html The Republicans will lie. They will claim that Obama is going to raise everyone's taxes. They will claim that lowering taxes increases revenues. They will claim that our fiscal problems are all due to spending. They will claim that the wealthy are not really that wealthy, and that raising taxes on the top bracket back to where they were will kill the economy. And, they will say that Democrats just love to tax. They will repeat these points over and over and over and over and over and over again. Democrats, as usual, walk right into their trap. Today, I happened to have various news channels on, and several people dubbed as "Democratic strategists" just fell for it. Worse, by their silence, they tacitly accepted the Republicans' implication that they like to tax. Here is a little tutorial for Democratic "strategists" on taxes. 1. First, begin EVERY comment about taxes by saying something to the effect of, "no one wants to pay taxes or have their taxes raised. No one in politics wants to raise taxes. " Without such a context, it does sound as if Democrats are only trying to raise taxes on the wealthy just because they like taxes. But, add, the Republicans are just about borrow-and-spend, and give the bill to our children". 2. Next, indicate that Bush and the Republican Congress have spent us into oblivion. We had a $5 trillion surplus, they've turned into a $4 Trillion deficit, a $9 Trillion turnaround, the greatest financial mismanagement in the history of the world. And, repeat, "in the history of the world." No one has ever done worse, ever, anywhere. They borrow and spend. (Yes, repetition!). 3. That's immoral. It puts huge obligations on our children and grandchildren. Every child born today inherits more than a $30,000 debt on the day of their birth. That is wrong. 4. Not only that, the American people have needs---for healthcare, for education so the children with that debt can compete, for a new energy economy, for our veterans....all needs neglected, sometimes criminally, by Bush and Republican Congress. 5. Therefore, we ONLY go to increase taxes on the wealthy to pay for those needs and to reverse the Bush/McCain-Republican mismanagement of our debt. We raise taxes because we need the revenues, not because anyone wants to. And, if Bush and the Republicans had not been so negligent, we would not have the problems we have today with the economy. 6. And emphasize, the increase is ONLY to the levels they were in the '90s, 4-5%, and say, "don't tell us that 4-5% is going to impact the economy, we have proof from the '90s that it did not." 7. On no account accept that reducing taxes increases revenues: a. Reference Bush's Treasury Secretary Paulson who said that tax cuts do not pay for themselves; b. If tax cuts did pay for themselves, or even better, actually increase revenues, then shouldn't we ask "why then do we have so much debt?" 8. Finally, not only are the wealthy the best place to go to increase tax revenues, it is also not going to hurt them--they can afford it, the top 1% own a greater percentage of our wealth than they did at any time since 1929---and we all know what happened in 1929! By the way it so happens that raising taxes by 4-5% on the wealthy, and keeping a lid on spending, the dollar would rise, the price of oil in dollars would fall, and the "tax" we are all paying to the oil companies in increased pump prices would improve the economy, reduce inflation, and likely provide the wealthy a much greater increase in their wealth than they "lose" in paying more taxes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-abrams/dem-strategists-learn-how_b_110366.html Tags: Barack Obama speech democrat John Mccain Iraq war NAFTA healthcare economy vice president Hillary Clinton Bush jim webb |

Middle-class dinner party discusses the Mayoral Election Bremner, Bird and Fortune's regular middle-class dinner party characters discuss the London Mayoral election in their usual style. I don't like the homophobic stuff around Brian Paddick: I'm sure they'd defend it as ironic or as representing the homophobia inherent in the middle classes or whatever, but it seems that the only laughs you could get in that section would come from laughing with rather than at the homophobia. On the plus side for Brian, if the best satire they can manage against him is that, he can't be doing anything particularly bad in this campaign I suppose! The Boris material is better, anyway, but hopefully there is better still to come in the remaining two programmes before the election on 1 May.
