The household accounting reflects a common reality: Wage incomes, adjusted for inflation, are stagnant or falling. The weekly wage for 92 million people in nonsupervisory jobs (82 percent of the private-sector workforce) has declined for three consecutive years, largely because total working hours shrank across the economy. Even per capita income--a broader measure that includes the billionaires--declined for four years in a row under Bush. One in six manufacturing jobs has been lost since 2000 (39 percent in communications equipment, 37 percent in semiconductors). These losses are explained as free-market "efficiencies" but mainly represent the global relocation of American production.
The cumulative effect is an economy that doesn't produce enough to pay for what it wants and needs. The conservative order, notwithstanding its proclaimed values, makes up the difference by borrowing... The heart of the problem is the deterioration of work and wages. There are many other elements damaging the pursuit of life and liberty; but as old-school liberals always understood, if wages and working conditions are not moving in the right direction, you won't accomplish much toward healing other social injuries and disorders. |

Do Family Farms Need More Estate Tax Breaks? |

The federal estate tax was designed to restrain the rampant growth of wealth inequality in this country—and the array of special tax breaks for family farms that existed before President Bush took office are well designed to ensure that the estate tax applies primarily to a small number of the very wealthiest estates rather than family farms. Modest modifications of these tax breaks (rather than wholesale repeal of the estate tax) before 2011 would help ensure that family farms would remain largely sheltered from the estate tax—while keeping the cost of estate tax reform at a manageable level. |
