There is a brewing political movement dedicated bringing our Country’s growing economic inequality into the spotlight. Unfortunately, Americans do not want to see another political movement, so they will not support a political movement focused on the issue of economic inequality. Movements like the Tea Party and Occupy protests have had limited success in affecting actual public policy. Certainly, they garner the attention of the professional media and rally up a bunch of people, but the only thing they have managed to do is get a handful of people elected and undermine government. At their core, political movements are composed of activities whose goal is to make a difference and get attention for their current cause. An activist is someone who is always seeking a cause and never satisfied with any solution or accomplishment. In many respects, the American People are tired of activists, because they are a large part of the reason our political system constantly sway back and forth from one extreme to the next. That said, people do want to see change that gives us a better America and world. People will not support a political movement to address economic inequality. What people will support are meaningful, credible policy solutions that address economic inequality.
