The Bulldog Manifesto

If Alan Greenspan, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, is admitting that the income gap between the rich and the rest of the US population has become "so wide, and is growing so fast, that it might eventually threaten the stability of democratic capitalism itself," perhaps there is some hope that the Empire can be saved from the dark side of the force.

Has Alan Greenspan become a liberal, tofu eating, Birkenstock wearing pinko-commie? Not quite. Perhaps the problem is so bad that even the most staunchest of right-wing free market-fundamentalists cannot ignore the obvious. And why would Greenspan care about the disparity of wealth? Because he knows, when the gap widens enough, there will be hell to pay!
